Sure does look like a RPM. Neat.
What? It's not a gold coin!?! You're slipping, @panzerman! ;) Seriously, though, that's a great example. Looks MS, or nearly so.
Cool! I've bought some Chinese pieces from @Ken Dorney. Miss him on the forums. Don't know much about older Chinese coins myself (just the bare...
Tiny little gold BB! Is that your oldest now? Coins don't get a whole lot older than that. You've got something from the very dawn of coinage,...
Yep. Ground find. Enviro damage, not an error.
Cool! And an excellent name for him, even aside from the numismatic tie-in. Now you've got something to pass on down to him. That tet I had...

Exactly. Gotta learn where those hotspots are!
I think it just happened to be lying on top of the Red Book, is all.
Recon of detecting sites is a thing. In my case it usually had less to do with other detectorists but plenty to do with “strategic features”....

Handsome VF. VF25-30 would be my personal assessment.
Listen to this man.
ANACS and ICG would not straight-grade this coin. They'd note the problems on it. I can practically guarantee that. But even so, if it does get...
It won't straight-grade, if that's what you mean. It will get a "details" grade from a TPG (third-party grading service), due to the issues it...
