I had one, and while it's very nice, I found I wasn't using it much (most of the reference material I use is online). So I gave it to a friend,...
Maybe. But the way it's kind of bent up on both ends makes me wonder. I think (since a silver dollar is not quite as wide as a railroad rail),...
Special because of her. And some fun old 100+ year old coins, including silver. What's not to like?
That mangled 1921-D Morgan dollar is interesting. Only worth the silver value in that condition, of course, but one wonders what story it would tell.
He hasn't won yet! But maybe it'll happen. We've got a bit more than an hour before the 24-hour minimum passes on this round.
Terminus post quem is the fancy term for it which archaeologists use. Coins are usually very handy in establishing TPQ!
Sounds like you “get it”! Nice collection you inherited- and it’s good to see you enjoying it properly!

So now we come to... ROUND 9. The prize for this round is a... United States: copper-nickel Flying Eagle cent, 1857 [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
OK, it's time for the drawing for Round 8. Our lucky number was... 295! [ATTACH] And Post #295 was by... @Abramthegreat! ... on behalf of...
At this point, it's gonna be surprising if he doesn't get it! LOL But let's see. It's about time for the drawing...
I do have it in hand. I'm the one who took those wretched pictures of it! LOL
Its value is very modest- perhaps only a dollar or two- in that condition. However, it is a very historic coin which is over 250 years old, so...
