You don't sell a coin like this raw unless you are up to something or stupid. I bought this one a several years ago and then watched the price...
It amazes me that these people take the time to do this. I rate this with the junk phone calls I get all the time despite the fact that I am on...
Yes, they get banned.
Congratulations! Are you planning on holding on to it, or, like some collectors, get itchy fingers to sell it as soon as it's done?
Depending upon what you define as "US Coins," here are two. Oak Tree Shilling circa 1660 to 1667, despite the date "1652." [ATTACH] 1792 half...

The diameter is 20 mm, and it's not heavy. It is probably hollow inside. Pieces like this could be worn by either sex. Although the women could...
