Cool. Hobo-carving coins can be habit forming. [IMG] The three-cent chicken here is a 19th century love token work. The others are by modern...
The Twilight Zone reboot adapted that in the '80s, I think. I remember seeing it too.
That was the only thing that sounded "off" to me, and I was gonna crack a joke about that line when I realized I'd been had. Because it's...
This. They've all been cleaned. Polished.
There was no need to start a second thread about the same coin. You could have merely replied to the old one. I've merged the two into one. Had...

The nicer 1903 went to France for 34 bucks plus shipping.
I was unaware of this. For the last few years I’ve just been using the clunky, error-ridden KM (Numismaster) database on the NGC World Coins...
Guess they don’t want to go down the rabbit hole of having to classify every kind of token that’s out there- and they like to abbreviate...
Ha! So I’m not one hundred percent senile, yet! *whew!*
