The pictures here were only adequate; not fantastic. I was gonna crack this one out and send it to PCGS for Trueview images. In so doing, I was...
We have three dogs and (currently) six cats. Sweet Dixie the Border Collie mix is aging and has hip dysplasia. She won't get surgery. Nor did...
They weren't my images, technically, but rather the past owner's. If I had made them personally, they'd be worse. ;) I forget who I bought the...
PS- FWIW, I sold it to a dealer who specializes in crimes, though I took a hit on the price. Edit: ROFL!!! THANKS, AUTOCORRECT!!! :banghead: I...
Sorry. 'Fraid that's all I've got. This coin, like the others in my recent flurry of "GtG" polls, is a "bygone" - I sold it a year or two ago.
I think @Julius Germanicus' example looks great, patina and all. This was my best Gallienus, with full, bright silvering and some pale orange...
Good point, but I don't think it looks bad in LaCointessa's OP example, if that is in fact silvered (it's hard to tell from the photos?) But...
Very cool, as was @daveydempsey's "whopper copper" with the nice contrasting toning. I played my holey 1842 Russian rouble and don't think I have...
If you can find someone with the initials "JB" born on October 16, 1951, so much the better! It's a long shot, though. Even longer odds than the...
Sadly, I lost the picture, but my oldest was a 1934 $5 note found in the till at work around 2008-09.
PPS- I just looked at my old collection and it seems my first (maybe only) campgate was this Constantine I. Probably common as dirt, but it was...
PS- it looks like the coin he sent you also has some traces of the original silvering? That's always nice. A big plus.
Campgates are cool. So is "desert" (sandy, earthen, Levant) patina like that seen on the first coins posted by @Victor_Clark and @Bing. That...
1789 British "Spade" type half-guinea. [IMG] From the Holey Gold Hat, of course. [IMG]
It deserved full sized inline pictures rather than just thumbnails. [IMG] [IMG]
Amazing how well one can gauge the decline and fall of great empires by the devolution of their coinage. I've seen it amply demonstrated in the...

We can make this next a wild card:1851 or USA or any love token/engraved piece (as long as it has a date). [IMG]
Key dates are always nice to have. Especially in higher grade like that. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Thanks for noticing. We Creatures of the Night should stick together! :blackalien::vamp: Actually, I'm off work tonight, but one physical quirk...
