I think the highest Hennings come is XF, "extremely fake"...?
I think I've gotten the hang of it in the twelve years since that post. ;) Yep, still have it! In fact, I still have all three.
One that I listed on eBay years ago - I think I paid something like $60 for this, and I still think I got a good deal, but I doubt I'll ever find...
Three views of the same coin: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
My first was actually three gold coins, part of a large eBay lot. I thought I was making out like a bandit, but eventually learned enough to...
Wow. I haven't yet found a store that ever rounds in their own favor; it's always to the favor of the customer. In fact, I could probably turn...
Aw, man, and this is the first year in decades (except the first year of COVID) that I won't be up that way to see family. :(

Aww, man, I've got to get better at posting something here before the shows happen. :(
This weekend's the last local show of the year. Some random notes: Same weekend as the car show and the GUN show. Parking is nuts. There's a...
I think it was over someone using Kurt's photo, edited, as an avatar. Kurt threatened legal action against Peter. I apparently misread the post...
Yeah, I left off the 1933 gold on the grounds that there were a bunch struck, and no telling which of those made it out the door. Same with the...
Google News just presented me with this: Network that trafficked stolen antiquities across Europe dismantled with 35 arrests I see that the...
Kurt's been gone (from here) for almost seven years. :(
Separate names with a comma.
