He could buy 4 gifts if he went to the dollar store rugrats. Not bad for a shopping "spree" though. Bruce
Nice coin BaldEagle. Looks like a strong AU to me too.
I use a little Koinsolv and a Q-tip and soft toothpick (gently and carefully). The Koinsolv does most of the work, but the "tools" help loosen the...
Chris, This website is part of Rich Hartzog's token "empire", and is very useful. I've referred to it many times, but thanks for the post anyway....
Thanks Chris. I worked on it a little bit today to get the green out of the counterstamp. It looks much better now than it did in this pic. Bruce
I bought this counterstamp just the other day at my friends coin shop. This one is listed in Greg Brunk's book as Y-2, but the maker is unknown....
Welcome to the forum SoaringEagle. I checked out the A.N.A. website to see if they have a member club in Coos Bay, but they don't. It doesn't mean...

Thanks for all the sites to check out Chris. I guess I can't put it off any longer. Now I'm on a mission, so painting the living room is going to...
I didn't realize you could get a scale so cheap. I guess my twenty years of procrastination is over ... now if I could just find the time to paint...
Thanks for the info Hobo. Bruce
Could you explain what spooning is 19Lyds or anyone else? Thanks
Thanks guys, the spun coin explanation sounds reasonable. I really do have to get a scale, but heck I've been saying that for years. Bruce
The rim or edge isn't damaged in any way, so I can't figure it out. It's actually a nice clean coin, though with some wear. Thanks Texas John. Bruce
I've had this coin for a long time, but never knew what type of error it was. Is this IHC struck on the wrong planchet? It's 18mm, just a bit...
