I've though of getting some small number punches and punching a TPG serial number on a hole filler coin in an album (especially if I were to use a...
And here's the set so far. Messydesk Digits of Pi (edited to fix link)
A while ago, someone asked me if I was going to do a "digits of pi" set after finishing my Prime Number Set. One could no doubt make a pretty...

Where I thought I saw the luster breaks were on the corner of the book, the back of Pilgrim's upper arm near the shoulder, and the hull of the...

The diagonal streaks are plating imperfections, and the swirls are stains from something. Neither is going to make the coin worth more than face...

VAM 1 not existing is correct. There is no "normal die" 1880-CC. Only two die pairs have the top arrow feather slanted with the large CC -- VAM...
I'm not aware of other mints striking James I coinage. The Aberystwyth mint wasn't set up until 1637, and shortly thereafter, during the civil...
Looks like environmental damage to me. Sea salvage, perhaps?

"The physical condition of a coin may change over time with improper handling or storage..." I'm guessing the coin was white when put in the...
