David Connors has some nice affordable Spanish coppers of that era, most with attractive patinas, as is often the case with hoard coins from...
Sorry for the confusion. When this contest launched, there was more than one page in the gallery. However, due to attrition (shrinkage due to...
Makes sense, but … wow. I thought I had hit a bonanza when I found a $100-ish 1875-S 20c piece I didn’t know I owned in one box.
A rare and very sought-after George Washington inaugural button, which are sort of the crown jewel of button finds here in the US, if you’re a...

ALL large cents are pre-Civil War. ;) Sounds like you've definitely dug more large cents than I did, but I might have you on CW buttons. Not...
You have to use the "report" button (link) at the bottom of your initial post, and request an edit (or in this case, a duplicate thread deletion...
Yep. "Affordable" is a necessary consideration on my limited budget. That was from my old <$500 Twelve Caesars collection.
True 'nuf. You posted while I was adding a caveat to my post.
This appears to be the subject of @Paddy54's post. Looks pretty "spendy" if you ask me. ;) (Though I'm sure it's indispensable if you're a die...
