That is AMAZING. Looks 18th century or very early 19th century? Where on the FL/GA line, if I may ask? You need not reveal site specifics. I'm...
Thanks.
Love that photo.

Those are fun in BU even when there's no doubling.
It might happen. You never know.
Environmental damage, but a nice find nonetheless. Congrats. Definitely not bad at all for a bulk lot of Wheaties from the flea market. I never...
Wow, those are some crazy-cool off-metal errors! Seeing a nickel with the telltale clad-layer edge is really trippy. I want a 1965 90% silver...
