Oh well, that was good while it lasted. :( Pretty sure that Saturn's a goner now. Luckily everyone escaped serious injury. Wasn't Victoria's...
The Three Graces are what made me buy this modern San Marino silver 10-euro commemorative recently. [ATTACH]
I didn't call that "My Hippie Coin" for nothin'! :smuggrin:
Aha. Makes sense. Thanks- I was wondering.
No, I'm talking about the 1921 silver 5c piece. Not a nickel. There were only 400-and-some of the silver "fish scales" struck.
Here's Guernsey. New theme: coins with three or more critters (animal, bird, etc.) on them. [IMG]
Where are we? What's the theme? Islands, still?
Sadly polished within an inch of its life. As-is, it's basically worth the silver value alone. ($5.71 as of this post.)
It's not UNC, and I think it's cleaned. I'd say AU details, cleaned, chopmarked. Still a nice bulk bag find. I'd value it in the VF range...

It's still pretty, in a non-TPG-gradable way.
Those are quite unusual looking clashmarks, but I'm pretty sure that's what they are. Those were some really tired dies! I like the toning, but...
I found a tiny "Bee" bronze in an uncleaned lot, once. Actually, I think there were three of them in the lot, if I remember correctly. Alas,...
As to the Spartanburg show, I wish I could attend- that's within my 300-mile travel radius- but presently I'd barely be able to scrape up the gas...
Conisder me jealous on that acquisition of yours. My own intended Feuchtwanger purchase in that thread did not go through. Oh- nice Byzantine...
Wonderful coin.
:facepalm::nailbiting:
I can see how it would intrigue you, but I suspect it's just a random mark from circulation. The coin has a number of such marks, and it looks to...
