Thanks for the explanation!
I don't do Lincolns. Why is this significant? Are WAMs rare?
Give it time. I'm traveling for the holidays and had I not opened mine early and thought to bring a pic of it with me on my phone, my secret Santa...
No, I'm not weak. As noted earlier, my gift wasn't wrapped so I knew what it was the moment I opened the shipping envelope -- a 1928s NGC AU 58...
Great thread as usual, Rob. I know next to nothing about detecting. Talk to me about digging etiquette. Is it proper form to always "replace your...
Great post. I have the 2 centesimos version of that series. So many outstanding coins came out of South America in the 1800s.
You're a devious trickster, Rob. I love it!
This one is too common and too new to have much numismatic value, but nevertheless one of my favorite 20th century copper coins. 33mm, with some...
This is without question my favorite Belgian coin (wish I owned one!). The detail is wonderful, and there's something fascinating about the lion...
Lot's of interesting 30mm European bronze coins from the 19th century; South America too. This is a category that just recently came up on my...
This is a very strange thread.
Received my package today as well. I had intended to wait until Christmas for the reveal, but the contents were not gift wrapped, so the cat was...
Nice! There's so much to like about French coins of that era. I'm a fan of the big 10 centimes myself.
Agreed. One of the favorites in my collection is the 1927 Parliament House florin. An elegant design.
Thanks for posting. That's fascinating.
Crazy idea, but I'll throw it out anyway — why not just stick to buying coins you like?
Seriously? I thought it was funniest movie Ben Stiller has ever made. Starsky & Hutch was pretty good, too.
I'm reminded of the "gas fight" scene from Zoolander. Worth watching if you haven't seen it. Seldom has violent death been quite so funny....
Photos can be deceiving, but I don't see the coloring either. Give it a good soaking in xylene. It won't hurt it, and if there's something...
Thanks for finding and posting those, Rob. I can see how that ensemble would be an attention grabber at coin shows. You've cleared up one...
Separate names with a comma.
