Nice stuff, y'all. This is presently my one and only CWT. I already posted it in the big Exonumia thread, but am delighted to have an excuse to...
Excellent! Sweet grab for 99p! You've got a coin of two of the most famous monarchs in history, there, 500 or so years old, for the price of a soda!
Thanks!
You're welcome. It was fun. I was just glad to see something that I at least had a partial clue on! (And FWIW, I don't think the York Coins...
Sorry, seems I botched that link somehow. Try again Aha- the stupid autocorrect on my tablet changed "htm" to "him" in the URL. Pretty much...
It may be billon (a copper-silver alloy with fairly low silver content). In fact, it could be a billon blanca. "Blanca" being the Spanish word...
Nice pickup. I don't know what it's worth- perhaps not much- but if you bought it as a cheap, unidentified, uncleaned "pick bin" sort of...
I need to get that. Never got past my ancient (Win95!) MGI Photosuite software, and i don't even have that anymore. (Probably wouldn't work...
Spanish. I am pretty sure it is a maravedis denomination of the very famous Ferdinand & Isabella, who bankrolled Columbus so he could sail the...

I thought about this over the last day or so, and every time I said to myself: "This guy just traded a bunch of DEAD BUGS for some mind blowing...
It is rather simplistic, though appealing enough to me. Remember this is a temporary "filler" (like the German half-mark), to plug the two gaping...
Brown, thick, n' chunky. 'Tis a good set of attributes, in copper coins just as it is with peanut butter.
That counterstamped Ike is trippy! Speaking of karma, @Miketexas just had his collection stolen, so in light of the good turn h8_modern did me...
I hope it does. May your next transaction partner be reading this. And as far as I'm concerned, I'd be more than happy to reciprocate by sending...
I saw one of these in a museum once, and even though there were MILLIONS of dollars of coins and currency there, including some very rare early US...
I totally agree. That's what sold me on that Teutonic Order piece. The dude with the big two-handed sword standing next to a lion on the obverse...
I love stings like that, where the bad guys get what's coming to 'em, and the good guys triumph through cleverness. I'm a sucker for some of...
It's only a small gesture of sympathy, but pick an item out here and it's yours. (Edit: pick an item out of MY stuff, that is. I can't give you...
