It's a humble thing next to your goldie, O Mighty Dead Bug Guy, but here's a 1650 Nuremberg silver ducat klippe I once had on my Holey Coin Vest...
I like klippes. Have only had a few silver ones; never a gold one. That's a great piece, of course. ("Dead Bug Guy does it again!" LOL) ;)
i'm not a huge fan of the 1800 unless it could be obtained at a good price (Bust dollars in any condition will of course find a buyer when the...
PS- for ten bux on that one in the OP, ya done good! :)
Fun idea. I was once about four or five dates shy of a complete holed 1793-1857 date (not variety) set. No 1793, 1795, 1799, or 1804, of course....

Thanks. Yep, that's pretty much how it happened. This is the neat thing about love tokens, particularly those with a full name on them. You can...
This World War I trench art love token on a French franc cost me $37.03, so I posted it in the "post your purchase under $50" thread. But I...
This World War I trench art love token on a French franc cost me $37.03. I then researched it and found the backstory of the soldier who had...
This excellent and scarce pictorial love token on a two-cent piece cost me fifty bucks. It was featured in Tom Delorey's cover article about love...
How does one then dispose of the unwanted face-value stuff? Redeposit it at another bank, perhaps with markings on the rolls so if you come...
That, or reacting to getting hit in the left eye with that snowball.
WOW. That's just NUTS.
