I bought a brown box Ike in 1971. Nothing since. Now that was a great investment!
@Mountain Man I think they will divide it up first and then each decides whether to sell or keep. Kind of a shame to split up such an awesome...
Both in-laws were devout Buddhists, him more so I guess. He used to meditate in that room, surrounded by the bazillion Buddhas. I don't know how...
@medoraman that is a good suggestion for a strategy to split things up, fair to everyone. I've tried to restrict my posted images to coins and...
Thank you! That does appear to be a match, 1 Siao / ¼ Fueang - Rama V, 1875 1877 or 1883. Apparently I've been designated to catalog all the...
@medoraman yes this would appear to be Rama V Baht RS127 (1908) KM-Y39, with designer name over left shoulder. It does appear to be fairly...
You got that right! This was at the Grand Palace almost a year after Rama IX died, and throngs of people dressed in black were still lined up to...
Thanks for the tip @Heavymetal. The gold coins appear to all be Queen's 60 birthday, 1500 3000 and 6000 baht, all 90% gold. NGC gives the weights...
Yes my wedding ring is 23k. Can't wear it; it's all bent up!
Thank you! I thought that one said 1500 baht. I'll try to get pictures of both sides - that would help.
Here are a couple more images. These are all I have for now, I'll try to get better ones when my wife wakes up :). There's another Rama V (I...
Any value guess also appreciated. My mother-in-law in Thailand passed away recently and there is a trove of stuff. They're trying to figure out...
Yup. One of the things about this hobby that always makes me chuckle is the phrase "market acceptable." It's either cleaned or it isn't! The job...

Go over to CCF and search the Canadian forum for "hoard." There's the St Lawrence River hoard of Tiffin and Bust & Harp tokens (numbering in the...
The problem with your reeded edge theory is that the material isn't chopped out of the coin.
Here's a micrograph of a small area of a Lincoln cent showing the difference between rim depth and field depth. Maybe it helps to visualize where...
I figure if I liked it and bought it, someone else will too. Here's a VG Details Damaged. It has the "thick ribbon" reverse variety, scarce for...
I think we just have to accept that there's actually 21% less volume in a US quarter than the raw rim and diameter calculation gives us, due to...
Don't keep the horseshoe like that or your luck will "run out." :)
