By the way, there is no show on Devens this month. Next show is SUNDAY APRIL 23rd 9am - 3pm. Bryan, is Devens a better location for you?
The Westford Show moved to Devens, MA in January, 2017. Same show new location. Apparently the hall they were using wanted to raise the rent to...
No, at the Devens, MA coin show.
Since there are only 10-15 known to exist it is really quite something just to see a real one.
Not altered 48 and not magnetic. Here is a picture of it. I found it at a coin show. It was too expensive for me to buy at this time (around...
I actually found a 1943 Copper Cent! Just last weekend. After years and years of hearing about people searching for them in bags from the bank,...
I have never done anything like this but the police CSI guys have methods to bring out filed off VIN plates and firearm serial numbers. I have...
I found this leper colony coin while sorting through my pile of world coins I have gathered over the years. At first I was puzzled that I...

Thanks for all the input everyone. I only spent $15 for the 2015 "Collecting World Coins" book so I am not that deeply invested in it. Plus, as...
Maybe his house is a National Park?

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I got a few 1916 German East Africa (DOA) 20 Heller coins but this Type A-A Brass is the most interesting of the lot to me. It...
