It hath been resurrected. The gold thread, that is. The silver one had life back in December.
Resurrecting this old thread now, 15 years on. $1,350 gold? Ha! How quaint that seems, now that $5K+ gold and $100+ silver has happened. Back...
Thanks for reading it all. I was following your progress as you hit the “like” button along the way. Appreciate it.
Paraffin lamp oil. He posted about it in another thread, as it happens.
Maybe this will be the month the random number generator smiles upon you! :)

Oooh… nice!
Minor typo there. Obviously you meant an 1854-D $3 gold. Which is an absolute dream coin. The only Dahlonega $3 struck. Wow. Not just wow,...
If you’ll recall from my FUN show report, I held one of those puppies in my hot little hand for a moment!
Thank you! You found more than I did. I had deduced it was an insurance token but was foggy on the backstory. I just knew it was lovely and I...
I feel for you, @expat. I’ve been without my uppers for more than a decade now. And my 88-year-old father in law who lives with us just had all...
