I dunno. I’m not entirely hip to the nomenclature. But I like that look.
Oh. Silly me. I should’ve noticed that.
Yes, I am sure there is another zinc-rot Lincoln cent in my future sooner or later. I can't wait.
Nice hints of pastel toning, though. Not that that makes it worth any more than one cent, I'm afraid.
Nice campgate. I'm not the one you want to ask about mintmarks, however.
Nice find. OK, ready? Here goes. Nothing... Nothing... Nothing... A bobby pin... Nothing... Nothing... This treasure... [IMG]...
Gee whiz, man, you should put a warning in your title. That thing just made my eyes pop out of their sockets! :greedy: It is absolutely stunning....

I knew nothing of this period before I bought this coin from @AncientJoe. @kazuma78 owns it now. It was one of my favorites during its tenure in...
Overpriced. There are some decent coins there, but the prices are ridiculous on a few, and high on the others. Maybe all are ridiculously...
Sicily (Norman Kings): gold tari of Guglielmo I ("William the Bad"), ca. 1154-1166 [IMG] Obverse: Kufic legend in two margins around pellet in...
