Yes, I was just looking for an excuse to show it. I also picked up an 1897-O in VF, finally!. Another dealer I go to was accumulating barber...
I just upgraded my 1913 today, have a lookie, [IMG] [IMG]
During my time in Egypt I knew places to find ancients, just walking around certain ruins. It was not that difficult. I saw plenty of fakes in the...
Jim C, those are great finds, and its good to see you are out hunting again. I wish I had the time to do that!
I have also hit the wall with Barber dime keys in F-AU. Thought I would be finished by now. I turned down every one I saw at the last Long Beach...

I wanted to show one of my recent purchases. A silver drachm from the rule of Khusro II (590-628AD) of the Sassanian Empire (in Persia). This...

Actually, that particular appearance of the word LIBERTY appears, though a bit less pronounced, in other cents of this date, I went to Heritage to...
It looks like there's also something funny with the U in TRUST. How does a coin wrapping machine cause distortion like this, if that is indeed...
I really like that second one, the chain link border lends a great deal to the theme.
This is the most frequent reason that comes to my mind. Not that people prefer to carry change on a string, but that they may not have clothing...
