You finally found one!!! Congrats! Sorry - I haven't logged in regularly. Except for weekends or holidays.
By the way, does anyone know of another example where a KNOWN counterfeit coin (the Henning Nickel, in this case) is worth so much more than the...
Here's mine. (These are photos taken through a Lighthouse slab though.) I'm nowhere near my coins. So regrettably, I can't zoom in like...
Oh, I see - thanks. So the crooks took the time to manipulate the edge too. I have a hand-me-down Racketeer Nickel that's in high grade. But...
Need your help. I've read this before (about the "real" Racketeer Nickel having reeded edges) but was always puzzled. Why the reeded edge when...
[ATTACH] (Perhaps more appropriate for Easter than a Palm Sunday post.)
Wow - I enjoyed your account. I never even knew about the six pence thing until I read about it. I thought the poem ended with something blue....
The Queen looks so young back then. May I share a related trivia with you? That old wedding limerick (Something old, something new...) originally...

For CWTs, you can't pin down an exact year, except that they were minted around the Civil War period. I've got only one CWT and it has the same...
Sure. Check out ANA's interactive tour of the Money Museum in Colorado at Money.org. I'd like to visit one day.
Don't forget to look for Henning Nickels. You never know. :-)
@Spark1951 @ddddd If you're interested, here are virtual tours of rooms in the Vatican....
What happens if you don't have exact change? LOL. If you get to take a pic, please share. It would be nice to see that set-up.
You just reminded me of Anne Frank. From her diary: "I believe most people are good at heart. " :-)
Hahaha! You've been here! Recently? Need any coins? Lol. G'Nite to you in Arkansas.
Wow, you're sharp to notice.
I've not seen this done elsewhere even here in Singapore. It's interesting. There's a bit of psychology involved. Somehow, I always feel like the...
Separate names with a comma.
