Wow. Coin B is rapidly coming up from behind! Coin A was way out ahead (like 75+% of the votes for the first several days). While I cannot yet...
@willieboyd2 - awesome Great Horned Owl pic- did you take it? Awesome Athenian owl, too. An example like that is probably in a pricerange beyond...
Never seen IGS, and though I'd wanna see a closer picture to be sure, it looks like that Oregon Trail could be correctly graded. Quite gemmy looking!
@bart - That works. Thanks. Considering your avatar, I'll follow up with Belgium, too, although this issue is cataloged under the Austrian...
Thanks. This will be the second ancient Greek in my "Eclectic Box of 20". Here is the other. Ancient Greece (Kingdom of Macedon), silver...

That "thick" one is a proof. The squared off edges of a modern proof will usually look like that. The mirror surfaces are also an indicator. It...
That would be true on a silver coin, though this one is of course copper-nickel clad and therefore would be less prone to (though not totally...
Yes, unfortunately in this case it is nothing but discoloration due to environmental damage, as @paddyman98 indicated. But hey, it brought you...
Since the topic came up in another thread, and Google Maps made it easy, I'll share a shot of the field where the ca. 1641-43 hammered silver...
Yes, I will admit that if somebody was skilled enough at applying a sandy patina and then using the technique you mentioined, I probably wouldn't...
Absolutely. One should ideally leave no trace that one was ever there, and even remove all dug trash rather than reburying it. On some sites, my...
