Who is John Galt?
Cool story, and cool coin. Out of curiosity, why do you not buy anything after 1500? Is that a special date, for some reason? Is there some...
Cool that he gave it to you as a gift. Do you have a question about it, or are you just showing it off?
Ah well, looks like nobody else wants to play. The 1320 was also graded 64BN by NGC. Looking at the animation, you should see that there is no...
Haha! I was a day early with my Tiny Moroccan coins post. I'll just have to dig something else up!
If it's a secret society, how do you know about it? :watching:

Yeah, I understand why people like the shipwreck stuff. It just doesn't do anything for me. I do like the history related in the above post......
These are really cool coins.
Good guesses! NGC called this 67 RD PL. I guess I was surprised that it got a 67, with those lines on the shield. I realize that they are...
You guys are close on the second one. NGC called it 64BN, but I could absolutely see it as 65 on a good day. Y'all are way off on the first one,...
No. 8 reales are pretty available. If you're looking for one of these types, look for a problem free example. "Shipwreck" is code for...
These two little creatures were in my mailbox yesterday. They are tiny! These are 1 Muzuna coins from Morocco, and are smaller than a US dime....
