I got this 2000-D Maryland quarter in change this afternoon. Very deep, strong strike, and the reverse is positively prooflike. Kinda cool. I even...
Wow, what a thoughtful and special gift! A wonderful coin. Happy birthday!
Nice one!
You don't see bugs on coins very often. I like the honeybee on this one. Plus, it's a rare date for the issue. [ATTACH] ITALY Time of Victor...
That is a remarkable farthing! Congrats!
That's just way too big.
Nice coin with some great toning. Is that some sort of mint damage/error on the reverse at 6 o'clock, or is it an optical/photographic illusion?...
Looks like the early 1800s coin has significantly more votes so far! As of yet I haven't sprung for either coin - and it might be a bit yet since...
Alright, alright! You win! :p Is that an oktobol? What's the weight?

Thanks! It was too nice to pass up, especially in attractive mint-state condition. Although there are actually a surprising number of MS graded...
I have an interesting one today – a penny token minted in 1794 for M. Lambe & Son, Tea Dealers and Grocers of Bath in Somerset. [ATTACH] GREAT...
That's a cool plate! I like VOC coins. I have a few, and even more on my wish-list. Here's an early-ish duit from my collection: [ATTACH]
That's a bummer! Hope you can get your money back. I'm going to guess the fake is #4.
The surfaces and pits make me think it's a cast fake. But I could be wrong. Do you have a weight, and photos of the edge?
You are correct! And then there's the Congo Free State 5 Francs. That was an oversight - what I meant was the only crown-sized silver coin for...
