Owning a unique coin is a singular experience. Congrats!
Hmmm.... I realize that first part was sarcasm, Sallent, but I think I agree more with that part of your post. Those are nice coins, for what they...
I'm a noob, so take my opinion lightly, but the style of the OP's piece feels wrong. I'm looking particularly at the eyes, ribbon, hair,...
They definitely have been treated with something. My understanding is that some don't mind the look, but I'm not a huge fan of it myself.
Eh, just need a little focus, some time, and a bit of patience. I don't think I buy quite as many coins as you, but I've definitely fallen a few...
I've always wondered how much room an auction house has to negotiate. There is a "make an offer" button on unsold Heritage lots, but I've never...

I think that is an EF coin, and its worth about a cent.
Who?
I believe that Paul and the Minister of Silly Walks have given you some great advice. I don't really have much to add beyond that. Good luck!
Holy crap, man, those are amazing.
Interesting that there's a test cut on a fake like that.
I think, if presented as a set in the album such as you bought it, this is a really cool and interesting thing. I think, if presented...
Y'all are putting the quotation marks and emphasis in the wrong place. His market is "not-real-coin" collectors - collectors of things that aren't...
It looks like it may be copper.
