Sometimes, if the soil isn't too acidic (like I believe can happen in pine forests), those "found in the woods" coins can come up surprisingly...
Beinvenue, @Sebastien Legrand!
The sight of those Dansco album pages gives me warm, fuzzy nostalgia. :)
Handsome coins. I like the type. Her Majesty looks good on horseback. Here she is, a quarter-century later, for her Silver Jubilee. [IMG]
Damaged. Even if there were a cud there, the overall condition of the coin renders it unworthy of certification, as it would not be worth the...
@SensibleSal66 - you say "found". Did you dig that one? If so, it's in pretty remarkable shape for a ground find. I once found an 1882 about...
It was an interesting year, that's for sure. Galba... [IMG] [IMG] Otho... [IMG] Vitellius... [IMG] [IMG] Vespasian... [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Can environmental damage ever actually be attractive? I submit to you that- under certain rare circumstances on copper and copper-nickel coins-...
Nice find. Not as fun as a 1909 or 1909-VDB would've been, but definitely cool, to see a 102-year-old cent pop up in circulation like that.

Cool token! I had an A.C. Yates piece, once upon a time. And some associated advertising cards. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Thank you!
Thanks! But I’m not used to seeing S-numbers (Sheldon?) in reference to half cents. I thought they were all C-numbers (Cohen?) I do not own...
Yep, proceed carefully with that exposed zinc. A little acetone might be in order for the crud, I suppose? Great find, regardless! Very...
Nice! Congrats. I can't make out the date on the early Lincoln in the picture. Is it a 1909, or 1919? Funny how the perspective in that second...
I bought it around 2002 or 2003. In an old PCI photocertificate slab graded F15 (somewhat overgraded, in my opinion). Only cost me 150 bucks at...
Yes. I once completed the entire Irish predecimal series- all denominations- in the three (now out-of-print) Dansco albums. I had the 1943...
If that were a ‘43 florin instead of the penny, it would be really lucky! Ditto the halfcrown, but especially the florin. 1943 is a very...
I concur, but do think it falls within “market acceptable” parameters, given, as you pointed out, the fact that most have gotten a dip or two over...
Thanks. I’ll check.
