Excellent idea for a thread, TIF! Here a few examples from my collection of depictions that 'Totally Do Not look Like...' The portrayals of...
Thank you, Ike Skywalker. Those envelopes look interesting. It is maybe worth a trial with low value coins. I may get a pack of those.
Yes, those must have been truly exciting times for coin collectors:) A little early for my time, but close enough to at least get a good feel for...
Thanks, physics-fan3.14. I don't remember what this one really looked like before the window-sill treatment. But, it was bright and the hairlines...

I paid 25 pounds for this 1823/2 Cent at a coin show in the UK years ago. This happened quite a few years ago but even adjusting for inflation it...
