Thanks. I've become ever more attentive to (and/or critical of) coin photography in recent years- particularly my own. It's a learning curve thing.
OK, nobody nailed it exactly. But some came close, and @Kasia was very close and is thus the winner of the "booby prize". Congratulations,...
Guess you didn't see Rolls 2 and 3. ;)
The photos, while adequate, still weren't perfect. The shadow of the corner of my cellphone hangs over the lower left quadrant. But one thing...
Roll #5 was, as mentioned, all clad coins. Again, one can't expect a silver lining every time. Would have been nice, but hey, this is a reality...
I still have some of them, but the lot got mixed back together and I spent three rolls yesterday. I could have reshot the edge picture easily...
One hint, since I mistakenly deleted the "edges" photo of Roll 5. I will mention that all of the edges of those coins had a uniform coloration,...
I was briefly a CIT (counselor in training) at YMCA Camp Hope in NC, one summer in my youth. :) OK, there's ten replies since Roll 4 was...
I see a circulated modern cent with some gunk on it? o_O
There are plenty of people like that in the world, and I daresay they're a silent majority. You just wouldn't know they're out there if you watch...
Low- to mid-$100s USD. I forget now. Not too much above my cost, if at all. But I was pricing stuff for quick sale back in March, since I...
The 1800s were a bit more than 300 years after the Dark Ages. More like 800+. But yes, you're right. Times were very different. Even most poor...
10+ individual replies after Roll 4, before the Roll 5 results are posted and the final counts are tallied. Until then, anyone can come in.
Whatever someone will pay for it. That's not a flip answer. Esoteric material like this usually has its price set by auction, and probably...
PS- @Yorkshire- no, wait, the one you linked to sold for 260 GBP, not EUR, so even more! That's like 320-ish USD. Wow. Of course it was PCGS...
Hey, cut her some slack. Victoria was a 71 year old widow when that coin was made in 1890. She was quite beautiful when she was young....
Thanks for that link. Yes, demand seems to be high. I notice that that single piece sold for about the same price as I paid for the entire...
You see, I was missing the "Skully" token that I had sold back in March. Belgium (Liège, Chapter of St. Lambert): copper communion token; memento...
Not as badly as if y'all had all ended up embracing an oncoming train.
That is a gorgeous car. Love the green.
