Nickel itself is magnetic. The the reason US "nickel" coins don't stick to a magnet is because they're actually 75% copper. The Canadian 5-cent...
JC lifetime denarius... very nice USA 1853 A&R half... a Pillar dollar! (Swapped mine away. Miss having one.) Love the Louis XVI French piece,...
Nice architectural array! My favorite is the Claudius cistophorus. I've never owned a cistophorus. Hope to rectify that someday. I like how...
You can't beat that 81-cent Arcadius! I like the silvered Constantine, too. And how you showed the prices. I'd say every one of these...
The owl is lovely. That little cut-down, squared-off coin weight made from a campgate really caught my eye, for some reason. As much as the owl...

Nice. I like those. Speaking of Liberia, and proofs... I'm proud to say that until last year I owned the finest-certified proof example of...
I agree. Byzantine. A trachy, most likely. "Cup-shaped", as made. Struck in billon, I would imagine. But you're going to need to drastically...
This final round of Penny Luster Giveaway #1 will be ending tomorrow, but I will be doing two drawings, since my own LordM Giveaway #50 on the...

And now we have reached the last day of COINmas. Day 12 is finally here. Lot #12. On the twelfth day of COINmas, @Penny Luster gave to thee......
The Random Number gods have spoken!
