Thanks for the link riff. I don't think anyone will buy the nonsense about the generic maple leaf. They blew it and should fess up. Too funny!! Bruce
Good point Ripley. An interesting take on counterfeits. Bruce
I love these old Vermonts humbabwe. Yours does have good color IMO. The surfaces are rough, but that's pretty common for this series so doesn't...
Now Ken, do you really want the FBI poking around in your past? Just be happy that you got away with so much in your "yut". :D Bruce
If you can post some clearer pictures, I might be able to help you humbabwe. Need better lighting, sharper images and close ups would be helpful....
The "after" looks a little better sonlarson. It's interesting how coins change when you do things like this to them. Sometimes better, sometimes...
Yeah, and look at the provenance and history that will follow that coin around. You couldn't make up a more compelling story if you tried. Just...
WOW, what a story about one old beautiful coin. We can only dream about finding something like that. Bruce

I'll be glad to help if I can Calum, but i know a lot more about U.S. counterstamps than about those from other countries. I know a bit about...
Of course I remember you Calum...bought that RIRA coin from you awhile back. Great to hear from you again and congratulations on getting your life...

Now that's my idea of a beautiful coin Leadfoot. Thats not too far from being a full red, at least by the picture. What does she grade? Bruce
Keep them in the original box snewman. I'd think they would be worth more that way like moneyer12 says. While I'm not against slabbing, it just...
A nice informative presentation petronius. Thanks for the history lesson and showing us your beautiful notes. Bruce
I'll be going too... I try to hit all the Baltimore shows if I can. Always a good time with plenty of good material to choose from. Bruce
[ATTACH][ATTACH] This a new counterstamp I picked up from Tom Logan at the Wilmington (DE) Coin Club show on Thursday. It's one of only a small...
Your second coin looks like it's cast Ripley. Is it? I like them both, but especially the Two Anna. Bruce
Nice medal SPP. I collect numismatic related medals, tokens, etc. and have seen this one before, but don't have one in my collection. Nice pickup!...
Nice Whitney token fretboard. I have a similar piece somewhere in my collection but will have to look for it. Glassmaking was a big industry in...
