Can't help you on anything to do with modern Lincoln cent varieties (not my thing at all), but here are your pix: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
28 mm means a halfpenny, then. Not surprising at all for a New Jersey find. Y'all have all kinds of interesting things sleeping in the soil up...
Y'know, you're totally right. While writing up the last installment, I myself thought, "geez, how lame - I've been calling this guy 'the...
I just saw two Gordian III's scurrying around on the bathroom door. Our bathroom doesn't look like the one in that video, but it might be kinda...
As @Oldhoopster indicated, it's a rather strange hybrid, and does not appear to be an actual coin. It looks to be struck on a round, machine-made...
Nice coin. Maybe ex-Randall Hoard. A lot of them have that very distinctive circular crack. I don't know the variety attribution offhand.
Yes!!! See? I told you Deacon Ray was The Man when it comes to graphic design and presentation! You'll have much more fun assembling your own...
Man, that is some nice patina.
I must have missed this thread the first time around. The Lysimachus is the pick of the litter, as far as I'm concerned (and rightly...
@Deacon Ray - I thought you also made some packaging like that for some sets you gave away? Well, we owe APMEX a debt of gratitude for indirectly...
@Sallent- are Gordian the First and Second also considered roaches? If so, I'll be leaving open-faced peanut butter sandwiches everywhere...
I literally LOL-ed so loud at that "Funky Towel" roach song that it startled ladymarcovan in the kitchen. :hilarious:
I've collected British coins off and on for a quarter of a century and have dug both farthing and halfpenny coins of George II while detecting....
Their "The Vikings" set doesn't even include a Viking coin! Not that it could, for that kind of money. Weird how it has a Roman rather than...
Nooo!!! Nothing against APMEX generally, or fancy packaging, but steer clear of preassembled, fancyfied sets like that. They're marketed to the...
Oh, snap! Now I want one! @Okidoki's example would do nicely, I suppose. Unless @AncientJoe or @IdesOfMarch01 has a spare lying around. ;)...
Some pics for you
Correct. An old George II copper. We'd need to know the diameter to determine if it's a farthing or a halfpenny.
We ALL have more expensive taste than our budget allows. (Well, most of us, anyway. I'm not so sure about @dougsmit, but he too probably feels...
The @dadams 1853 dime (PCGS AU53) got a happy new home in my Eclectic Box, but he ended up with my nice silvered Constantine Campgate (after it...
