I disagree over the title of flip over strike. I have seen a fair amount of overstrikes and own a fair bit of Russian overstruck coins but this...
Merry Xmas! As well as, I'll make this a coin related post too ;) [img]
Oh dear, it sure will help to solve the US trade deficit issues.
What's frusting is that when you bid on something that's just 0.99, and the shipping for some absurd reason is 15 dollars and when I look at the...

Clinker, I'm sure Zach can make the bison lose it's leg easily! :D Zach do you have a gallery of what you have engraved?

The fact still doesn't change - using brasso on coin and gently swip it is like using a drop of 10M of hydrochloric acid on your skin and gently...
