Now that's a sweet circulation find!
If the Pillar dollar sells to a cash buyer this weekend. If my potential swap partner still has that on Monday, though, it might just be...
I know exactly what you mean. Some coins have a slightly "macho" appeal to them. The Teutonic Order piece above definitely has a martial...
How about another wild card? To the next player: USA, 1906, or any elongated coin. (If you play an elongate, though, it needs to have a readable...
That old $20 is cool. Been a while since I've seen one. I found a 1934 $5 one time. That's the oldest bill I've gotten out of circulation.
That coin rocks for $30-ish! I do like the "bang-for-the-buck" factor on Septimius Severus' coins. His and Gordian III's silver seem to offer...
Wow, what a cool type! (If just a wee bit grisly).

Well, normally I'd try to avoid dragging us back to the USA, but 1842 gave me the perfect opening to post what happens to be my most valuable coin...
Yes, I flubbed and made an important typo, here. Must've been wishful thinking. LOL The 3cN is a CAM, not a DCAM. Oops. (Hey, I do 90% of...
"Wow" is the only word that comes to mind right now.
I fully realize that many people will have inherent biases towards one category or the other, and that's OK. This does not pretend to be a...
1761-Mo Mexico 8R, PCGS AU50 (for sale @ $550) I could have this in an even swap for the 3cN coin below. Might even be able to squeeze the...
Aha! 1898 gives me an opening to play another from my "Box of 20" (the cheapest one from the box, but it happens to be the second-finest graded...
