Ahh, I love cityviews! Seeing one in gold is impressive. Here’s one in silver. I also have two others which are more modern. Swiss Cantons...
OK, folks, it’s Sunday the 25th, and now we move into the Lincoln cents. The first subtype we’ll encounter is of course the Lincoln Cent VDB...
Date in AH. Iran (Persia): AH 1233 (1817) gold toman of Fath-Ali Shah, Yazd mint [IMG]
Nope. That’s an 1854. It has the slanted 5, which was an idiosyncracy of Christian Gobrecht’s work. You see it on large cents, too. Indeed,...
Never seen that Moroccan type. I like how the Portuguese one looks semi-prooflike.
Not a coin, but I once bought my sister a small blue and white porcelain bowl from the Hoi An shipwreck, known for its beautiful 15th century...
Yes it does, and the first time it was shared here, @-jeffB wondered aloud if the coin “had its original skin or not”. And around that point, I...
Speaking of 1907… I also popped dozens of ‘em outta the dirt, back in my diggin’ days. Most were rough, of course, but some were quite nice (for...
I’ve been a World coin collector for decades, but I cannot recall ever having owned a single piece from Bhutan, even in my bulk bag cherrypicking...

A Morgan with that kind of sweet toning for less than ten bucks over melt? Chalk that one up as a win, my friend! :)
It is indeed cool looking. Curious, and wanting to see photos, I had to Google his "hat". It is called The Raven Crown. Here's an earlier King...
Pretty funny! But not quite as funny as this recent one... :hilarious: [ATTACH]
Saw 'em. Lotsa problem coins all around, but cool problem coins. PS- I made an offer on one. We'll see what happens.
I have been known to wear white cotton gloves when photographing coins, not so much to protect the coins from my hands, or to protect my hands...
Yes, I've used peroxide (heated in the microwave but not mixed with vinegar) before, to clean crusty dug finds. Just to see the date.
As @mrweaseluv noted, it is now time for our next type, and now for the first time in our Virtual 7070, we come to a type which is widely...
Yep, thanks. I have been required to actually work while at work tonight. Go figure! Once I get caught up, I'll post mine. Thanks for starting...
