What owl coin would that be? ;)
It’s by design and monarch. It gets confusing, too, in cases like sons who continued striking coins in their fathers’ names. Fortunately there’s...
Apparently it was graded by some fly-by-night company nobody’s heard of. The link to their website posted above goes nowhere now. So essentially...
Agreed. Can’t be Stainless steel. I do think there’s a lead base to whatever alloy that is.
Would if I could, but I can’t, so I won’t. :(
I gather you have something to do with that site? I was looking for specifications on a modern UK bullion coin recently and stumbled across it....
It’s a 1937-D, by the way. Note the Denver mintmark on the reverse, below FIVE CENTS.
Neat old relic, whatever it is. Definitely not gold. Not any kind of coin, either, as far as I know. Does look like gilt lead or pewter, maybe....
One I used to own. Zeno (emperor of the East, A.D. 476-491). AV Solidus. Thessalonica, A.D. 476 or later. Pedigreed to the famous Louis E....

The solitary groat found in my present collection is a Henry VI that was found in a clay pot with the Reigate Hoard in Surrey. [IMG] @clanger-...
It's a very nice looking example, and I do not find the banker's mark objectionable. I did not know that the "Et tu, Brute?" quote originated...
Pertinax, Didius Julianus, Gordian I, Gordian II, Pupienus, Balbinus... Toughies, all!
Puffins are cool. I had this full-puffin piece. Won it in a @H8_modern giveaway. I sent it to PCGS and it came back MS65 RD, which meant it was...
@tibor can really shine in this thread.
Another one I overlooked. This one straddles the gap between our current century in play (the 500s), and the next one (the 600s). Since we'll be...
Separate names with a comma.
