The sorta random stuff that goes through my head. What if I was a dog? The thought dawned on me as I watched Grace, our dachshund, discover a...
Have fun at the show! It will be like sensory overload, I bet. That's how they are for me.
Loose grime can be cleaned off with water and a soft cloth. The main thing is that you don't want to disrupt the coin's patina. Removing loose...
A full date set alone impresses me.
@SensibleSal66 - they don't look like this when you dig 'em, eh? ;)
MS64! I think this is my first medieval in that grade. I did once have an MS63 Aethelred II Anglo-Saxon penny.
I bought one of these at the 2023 FUN show this January but it didn't straight-grade, so I sold it. The one I sold went UNC details/cleaned at...

PCGS MS63 BN. I always wanted a Mint State King George halfpenny, either Red or Red-Brown UNC. This one is a Brown, but a nice Brown with lots...

Never pick a coin up off the table without the dealer's consent. I once did this and got snapped at. It was an overreaction on his part- we were...

I don't recall saying that, but on this particular coin, due to my family connection to the Adams presidents, the pedigree was everything. If...
I sold the coin, but am likely about to purchase a very similar one of the same date, which is straight-graded AU55: [IMG]

I got a new keychain piece today. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Used to have a 1794 cent that looked just like that, only the hole was at the top. Nice piece. I like the easel treatment.
WOW. And a CircCam, to boot!
I want it.
