A siliqua for 20 bucks?!? Big win!!! Who cares if it's rough- that was a cool cherrypick! I can see how it would have been overlooked in a pick...
Regardless, you've dug a splendid find there, sir! Alas, I am not specialized enough to be able to help with English hammered silver...
I think it could be, but I'm not a specialist, so don't take my word for it.
That's cool. Finding the right buyer for it and a way to ship it carefully without breakage will be the tricky part. (Oh- PS, off-topic) I got...
The forums have been a little hiccupy lately, too. It's not just you. Lots of folks, me included, have had double- or triple-posts happen. But...
I agree
A lot of those fantasies were struck by known entities (Coincraft, et al), with mintage records, and many are even listed in the Krause Unusual...

Hope you like 'em! Sorry, I didn't know you already had some Churchill crowns. It's always a guess. I bought a bag of 100 UNCS a couple of...
I haven't seen many of those old square-window 2x2 holders in a while. Very old-school!
Nice. As usual. I looked up Aquilea, so there's a link to the Wikipedia page, if anyone wants it.
That is indeed a dryer coin, so it's post-mint damage, as mentioned.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if there were modern fantasy Edward VIII “sovereigns” struck in gold. Something like that would be a respectable...
Interesting. I did not know that. But since those would bear the portrait of George V, I suspect most type set collectors would not want to use...
I once thought about attempting a sovereign type set by monarch and in looking at various catalog prices, I realized how tough George VI would be....
Here’s a fun short video about these that a friend of mine (@Aethelred) created. [MEDIA] Yep, it seems the “Bigfoot” myth had its origins in...
