Heck, even ANACS or ICG. Get that puppy in a straight-graded holder from a recognized TPG, and you're sitting pretty. Even if it didn't end up...
I wonder what would happen if you cracked it out and sent it to PCGS, in hopes of getting a straight grade. It might be worth a shot, considering...
I see nothing wrong with that coin. I'm not questioning their assessment that it had an old cleaning, but what I mean is that I see nothing wrong...
Looks like the RC Cola logo. I don't know how often y'all see it in other parts of the country (and world), but here in the Deep South it's...
I've never seen this kind of cross before, though admittedly my experience with Byzantine coins is minimal. It's neat looking, even without the...
20. Germany (Imperial): copper-nickel 5-pfennig of Wilhelm I, 1876-J, Hamburg mint (+ "mystery bonus" items) [IMG] 21. Austria: copper kreuzer,...
Indeed, they do have a creepy sort of "Addams Family" quality to them. Which is precisely why I found them appealing! (In a creepy kind of way.)...
Hey, @ma-shops- I bought that thaler above on... MA-Shops! Great site! :)
This contest is now CLOSED. The winner of the drawing was announced in Post #124. LordM Giveaway #51 (pick your prize) This giveaway is brought...

My budget is far too limited to lose focus, so I stick with one thing: coins. That being said, if had deeper pockets, there would be a lot of...
I haven't seen that reverse die before and am not up on all the Fuld varieties and such, but I will say that's a really neat design. What does...
Very cool find! Man, wouldn't you just love to own that krater? I know I would, but on second thought, I'd be afraid to. I guarantee you the...
For me, an 1857 $5 Liberty, grading about F12, when I was around 16, in the early 1980s. Worked some part-time jobs to get it. I don't recall...
OK, folks, here is the result of the random drawing. The random number generator selected #52. [ATTACH] Post #52 was by... @CREATIVECRHUNTER!...
Exactly. Sure, they're kind of common (at least as far as hammered silver goes), but I think they're quite underappreciated. And the fact...
Ah, yes. Thank you, @Chris B. Reminds me... German States (Saxony): silver thaler, "3 Brothers" type, 1596-HB, Dresden mint [IMG] Obverse:...
@spirityoda - you just squeaked in under the wire, because I was about to fire up the random number generator and do the drawing! Off to do just...
@tibor is a kind and generous soul, and sent me a hammered coin, too. Be careful with those Hungarian denars. They can become habit-forming. ;)
Now, I'm off to go do the drawing for LordM Giveaway #50 on the Ancients forum... :)
