Another arrived yesterday. 1794 Kent Hawkhurst Halfpenny (D&H 30) -- NGC MS64RB [ATTACH][ATTACH]
Well drat! With that weight, it's density is somewhere around 4.9 to 5.7 grams per cubic centimeter. I can't find any feasible metals (or...
The weight should be substantially different between white metal and aluminum. So much so that I'd think you could tell the difference just by...
I never wish bad things upon other collectors, but if someone willing to bid that kind of money doesn't know the difference between the markers...
A fractional farthing from 1843. [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
The big versions of these images are posted in the Conder thread, but here are two nice halfpenny tokens I picked up recently. Thought I'd post...

The 1916 Cuba 2 Peso is one of the most slabbed Cuban golds around. PCGS: <= AU58, 31 coins MS60-62, 39 coins MS63, 52 MS64, 34 MS65, 7 None...
Picked up this little 1 Real in last week's Heritage world auction. I like the amount of luster left, and it has an appealing amount of "crust"...
A pretty hard coin to find in nice condition with cameo surfaces. It took me a little over 2.5 years... :eek: [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
Probably this one... [ATTACH][ATTACH]
Prince, that's a sweet looking 5 Lire! Very nice example!
It was sold on the CT For Sale area. 30 seconds of searching and I found it here. http://www.cointalk.com/t226821/ That was Windchild's point...
