Indeed, there is some irony there.
Moved this from Paper Money to World Coins. The Cook Islands, Liberia, Niue, etc. strike a large number of NCLT (non-circulating legal tender)...
I love those Bayeux Tapestry memes. There used to be a generator where you could make your own. I think that’s gone now, but some of the memes...
Bizarre, but very cool.
I’ve got exactly one in my present holdings. Let me fetch the pix. Edit: here ‘tis. PCGS MS63 BN. [ATTACH]
Yeah, I think it is merely an overpolished genuine piece from jewelry. But I will defer to more expert opinions on that. I had a similar dilemma...
I concur with this. Likely genuine, but polished. Possibly an ex-jewelry piece. (Edited to add: my opinion only. I could be wrong.) Nice...
Only because a moderator randomly happened to stumble across it just now. Use the “report” link for requests like that in the future, if you want...
That's a tough coin. I know, since I needed the 1901 Canadian half dollar for the 1901 Victorian type set I assembled for my daughter in the...
That was a good buy- and keep- though you might not have realized it at the time.

It depends on the circumstances. Sometimes, when I am "upside-down" or "underwater" in a coin (i.e., when it's something I paid too much for), I...
I wouldn't call that "beat up" at all. Sure, it has a few tiny rim nicks, and it is a common, inexpensive coin, but it is decent looking all the...
I see the reverse of a Wheat cent which likely has environmental damage.
Yep. Should’ve used nickels. Those would have been a better canvas for adding edge inscriptions.
All lovely. Wow. Now I want more sestertii (but who doesn’t?). All I presently have is a F+ Antoninus Pius.
You haven't missed much. A member named @MeowtheKitty insisted upon staying in character as a cat in his posts, and referring to himself in the...
Yes, it is likely that high grade coins get reprocessed, and yes, you're also right that they'd be worth more if NOT reprocessed, but who's to say...
Those are sharp.
Not bad, especially for ten cents.
