I've long been a fan of original grey-toned circulated silver with a "two-tone" look that provides contrast between darker fields and lighter...

Ummm... ya think? That's the understatement of the week. You ever wanna swap that coin for considerably more than you paid, just let me know. ;)
@01mikep- you tried to post something from 1888 earlier, but fell behind and had to edit? Well, since it is now USA or 1913, I'll steer us to USA...
@01mikep - since we're now at Canada or 1913, and you like German Imperial, I'll play the coin I mentioned in the OP. German States (Saxony)...
Here's a 1913 Canadian large cent I dug while metal detecting. Rather a surprising find in North Carolina! Sadly, I accidentally hit the reverse...
Thanks. That coin was nice n' cheap, too. Only cost $31, delivered, already slabbed and TrueViewed! Lots of "bang for the buck", there! But by...
I've fallen behind and had to edit a couple of times, myself!
Let's shift to Canada, eh? [IMG] [IMG]

PS- looking at the weird sort of hexagonal-ish shape of the unsquashed areas and the apparent hits to the obverse makes me think this looks more...
Hmm. I have no idea on this one! Pretty interesting. Edit: I'm leaning towards PMD (post-mint damage), but I will defer to those with more...
Good! Glad to hear it. You can tell in your cellphone pix that the coin has much nicer surfaces than one would expect based on the seller's pix.
Anybody can print up a COA for anything. That being said, it's a nice looking display, and if it really is a piece from the Whydah wreck (and I...
Indeed, what does that mean? I don't understand your question. You should take a picture of it and post it in its own thread.
As mentioned, not coins, but silver rounds (if they are in fact real silver). If they are indeed real silver and weigh out correctly, they're...
Perhaps @panzerman will know?
I was going to say that the lettering looks "off" to me, like one sees on Chinese counterfeits. However, I see the lettering on the Krause plate...
While that 1965 cent is probably not worth much at all- five cents, maybe- it is a particularly nice piece for a roll find, and I can see why it...
