Yes my wedding ring is 23k. Can't wear it; it's all bent up!
Thank you! I thought that one said 1500 baht. I'll try to get pictures of both sides - that would help.
Here are a couple more images. These are all I have for now, I'll try to get better ones when my wife wakes up :). There's another Rama V (I...
Any value guess also appreciated. My mother-in-law in Thailand passed away recently and there is a trove of stuff. They're trying to figure out...

Go over to CCF and search the Canadian forum for "hoard." There's the St Lawrence River hoard of Tiffin and Bust & Harp tokens (numbering in the...

Here's a micrograph of a small area of a Lincoln cent showing the difference between rim depth and field depth. Maybe it helps to visualize where...

Very interesting as usual. What pops out in your final image is they all have a dot below the O in ONE and a dent in the lower right of E.
OK, so not 2000 like the other ones and saved later. I kinda thought it was odd for a grease-filled die.
The auction listing has more detail than the CBS article. It's possible that the original medal is at the bottom of the Ohio river. Or melted...
1839 gold medal of Revolutionary War general called the "most shocking and important discovery" in years...
Good catch. It's also missing the mint mark. Better pictures of that one, both sides, might be interesting. There is also a "wounded/speared...
