These are great! I love how you have matching ones, and the biographical background on Dr. Wilkins. Cool that @BRandM has one too. It's neat...
Wow! Fantastic! I'm not the one to ask for help on pricing them, but good for you! (And the landowner.) That must have been a real adrenaline...
Ooh! Great find! Where are you, that you found that? (Not specifics, just general area). I agree that that looks like a Phillipus monogram,...
I thought they were acceptable in this particular case.
Ah! How right you are. Tuesday it shall be, then.
I like that VF, actually.
I agree. Looks 63 to me, too. I thought about cracking it out and resubmitting it at the FUN show, but that wasn't cost-effective. Even in 63...

I like the broad flan on that first one. [IMG]
Oh well. At least you have my shaky animated GIF to show the cartwheels on that one.
I find most (but not all) NCLT to be tacky. Especially the ones with pop culture themes like superheroes or movie characters. But as I mentioned...
Wow! Very handsome coin, with no distractions. I like it!
Hi. I currently have AU58 type examples for the Type 1 and Type 2 gold dollars. I’d like to upgrade both types to MS62 or MS63 (PCGS, NGC, or CACG...
Yes, they’re tough, and due to something with the purity of the copper stock used in the planchets, they’re even tougher to find in a nice...
Now it’s time for the Classic Head cent (1808-1814). I currently lack a decent example of this type. In fact, the nicest problem-free example...
@Randy Abercrombie - did John (@messydesk) shoot your prooflike 1877 half that I made the animated GIF of? [ATTACH]
