Yes Toad, i like your coins too and i appreciate (and share) your passion for early american colonial coins. Bewildering the number of Connecticut...
Thank you all for your input. Mike, you make an interesting comment about D. Osburne. In fact, in making my decision to work with him, i had...
Thank you very much for the I.D Ardatirion. Lyon Mint? seems like it travelled some distance to Germania. This is the first roman i find in...
Terry, i can strongly recommend a Garrett. I had one for 14 years and they are very easy to use, with good detecting depth. It paid for itself...
Interesting comment, even if i don't understand the humor behind it.
Well, it is not a coin, but rather a pendant or medal for wearing around the neck. The obverse shows St. George slaying the dragon. latin...
Yep, VG 8 is correct. However, not net graded. The ANACS holder makes no mention of a cleaning, and perhaps what is more important, neither...
I have made some good finds over the last 3 or so weeks. Found an interesting spot which has yielded so far 4 silver coins, the oldest dating to...
I guess a lot of you can mention at least one coin that you wish you had bought years ago, but never did? Well, this is one of mine: The 1824...

Some of you may remember this posting i made in this thread some about 6 weeks ago concerning an Ebay purchase of an 1844 dime, and the coin never...
Let me join the others in congratulating you! Those are really beautiful coins, and the Louis de Maele coin is very historical. Just curious as...
Yes, i would also call it VG and worth about 6-7 euros. VEERY common in low grades, very rare in uncirculated!
I see Toad got in ahead of me. Yes, it looks to be an S-78. I like your coin, and i see why you are so excited. Lots of detail present beneath...
Conder, thanks for confirming the attribution. The double leaves at OF are only barely visible but definitely there. You are right, i meant...
Toad, do you think my attribution of the S-102 is incorrect? i admit it was not easy because the date is very weak, but it has all of the other...
Sundance, i had already seen this coin, but as with Toad, no need to worry about me, i have already spent my allowance for september, october (and...
Mark, look at what Shawn Yancey has to offer. A pretty S-93, much better than mine and in my opinion now priced right. Worth taking a look.
hello All, I really haven't had a lot of time for coins lately, but i am always on the lookout for some of these old ladies from 1796, and these...
That is a historically significant medal from a decisive age in modern European history. As a point of interest: you mention that the...
