I've been seeking one for a while, and can't tell if I picked one up today or not. I may be fooling myself, but think I see the "forbidden"...
Love cherry picking VAMs! I picked this 1886-o VAM 1a up today. Dealer had it priced steeply for an 1886-o, but not for the stunning multiple die...
From a bulk bin of Mercury dimes, I found this today. May have been worth all the searching... Am I seeing a D (on this AG-3 ish specimen) or...
I thought it was AU53 to AU55 when I submitted. But, there are reasons it came back a 50 that are hard to argue against. EF45 could be argued for...
On the VAM 22A, I see the telltale die cracks across STAT"ES OF", but don't see it between the 0 & 1 of the date. So, I thought this might be a...
So.... The Reveal... ... ... Not a *single* correct guess in the poll. And, yes, I do feel that the grading room was a bit harsh. Proof...
Please enter me for rd 4 as well. Fingers crossed!
Here's a few. So far, most have been quite off. And there's no trick. Anyone guessing the VAM? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

They don't tend to carry much of a premium, and I've found the weight to be a bit prohibitive for carrying them around. On the buying side, I...
Since there's not an Exonumia forum, I wasn't quite sure where to put this. But, I've occasionally found beautiful brass plaques in collections...
Yep. I think gold is in for a big price adjustment, sooner rather than later.
This thread inspired me to pick up an 1893 Isabella in higher grade. I haven't seen the one I bought myself nearly a decade ago after stashing it...
When the capstone of the Washington monument was made in 1884, Aluminum was a precious metal. Advances in electric generation technology quickly...
Perfect! Kind of surprising that someone running for such an obscure post would have made aluminum medals at that early date. In 1918, aluminum...
Couldn't make that out. Looks like 4 letters, ending in "..BY"
This one's in Rough shape, but it's leaving me a bit flummoxed. Even with some major spelling variations, I've struck out on finding any...
The design seems like other merchant tokens of the 1910-1930 era. But, I've had no luck finding any "2 bits" tokens. A phonograph token does...
Would probably be tame by today's standards. But, remember that 1892 was still very much "Victorian". From:...
Separate names with a comma.
