Ha! You're such an amateur! I had a quintuple post just recently! Now go practice some more until you can at least do a quadruple! I mean,...
@TIF W...o...w.
My second coin in the detector finds album. 1956 WASHINGTON QUARTER A high grade example with cartwheel luster. Date Found: Fall, 1992 Site:...
Metal detect in Sicily, and get caught by the wrong guys, and you'll "buy the farm", all right! But at least you'll have the consolation of...
In Sicily? No thanks. Ain't that where Vito Corleone came from? They'd probably shoot first and ask questions later. ;) (Yes, I know Vito...
Indeed. Has that whole "Viking age" mystique. That one is quite obviously a hoard coin but unfortunately the specific provenance of the source...

You could certainly do worse for <$500 with an electrum hekte. They're extremely tiny, of course, but cute little things. I just bought my...
This has multiple critters (and acts of predation) on both sides. I paid $100-and-something for this coin, as I recall, so with a $500 budget,...
Yep, sure do. :) The hat is now love tokens rather than holed gold, but I'd make an exception for this piece since it's 1844.
PMD. A reeding mark from the reeded edge of another coin hitting JFK on the chin.
I'd buy it for that much, so yes, you could recoup your eight bucks. Shoot, I'd give you ten. There's your eight bucks, a buck to ship it, and a...
Added some links. Still compiling. This is a work in progress. We're only allowed one link in our signatures so mine leads to this index now....
