Do many of your customers drive time-traveling DeLoreans? LOL
If you'll pardon a little shameless self-promotion (not spam, since all I'm asking is some attention, and giving away prizes in return), please...
Thank you for pointing that out. It was baffling me. Upside-down, the "LL" characters looked like a weird Pi symbol or something. I disagree...
German States (Teutonic Order): silver 1/4-thaler of Grand Master Maximilian of Austria, ca. 1615 [IMG] France: silver jeton of Louis XV,...
Great stuff! I can see how Gordian III silver Ants could become quite habit forming, considering their high bang-for-the-buck ratio. I like the...
@AncientAussie (on a different topic, and one I might've asked before- if so, please forgive me)- There is a knowledgeable ancient coin collector...
I think the $35 Vespasian denarius is my favorite. I bought a Tetricus AE in an NNC holder once, with a ludicrous "Mint State" grade on the...
Those are all lovely. I particularly like the first two.
Hasn't snowed and "stuck" here in the Golden Isles of Georgia since 1989, and that was a freakish once-in-a-century event, when several inches...
I concur. Choice AU, maybe. Hard to say by the pictures. Numismedia trends for a 1942 Walking Liberty half are $17 in AU50, $22 in AU53, $25 in...

@jwitten- It is my understanding that this is how the PCGS affiliates in Europe and Asia image the coins. The TrueView template you're more...
I'll add that I'm more accustomed to seeing adjustment marks on bigger silver coins than small gold ones like this. And I don't know why they...
Yep. For anybody else who's reading this and wondering what "adjustment marks" are, they were done by the mint, usually with a file, to bring a...
By golly, I do believe @JeffsRealm is onto something here! I concur with the "cane topper" theory, unless convinced otherwise. It makes sense....
I would've guessed that, too, even though I knew those "scratches" under the crown and shield on the first coin were adjustment marks. I suppose...
This Small Motto/Large Motto stuff makes my head spin, which is why I never much paid attention. It's like the 1970 Small Date/Large Date cent...
Twisted minds must think alike. LOL ;)
Whoops- I see some text got lost in the copying and pasting of the story above. Will try to fix that later.
Thank you for reading them. This was one of my favorites. It's now been almost nine years to the day since this outing happened, but I remember...
Separate names with a comma.
