I owned a pair of Aaron Lujan cents not long ago. :) [ATTACH] (I think "Girl of Summer 2" - the nekkid lady one- is just whimsical enough to...
Thought it looked a bit like "pale gold".
:vamp::p
It was meant well, and not so much bad info - it's just that certain official counterstamps on this kind of stuff changes the whole ballgame. One...
Indeed they are. Indeed it has, but at least by straying from the topic of Gordian III, we haven't seen any jokes about roaches. ... Yet. Give...
@Randy Abercrombie - in this case it's all about the counterstamp, which was an official (British) government stamp (on a Spanish host coin)...
I know there are fake counterstamps out there, but I dont know how prevalent they are, nor would I have the experience to determine if that...
Neat woodgrain toning on the Hannover coin, too.
Thank you. I did mean half dime on the 1853-O, though I had typed "dime". Changing my vote to 6, 8, 10. (#7 won't mind me taking a vote away,...

Yes, it cetainly looks like an Islamic gold dinar from the medieval period. I took the liberty of moving this to the Ancients forum, where it is...
... The bits of glass are from a broken jar that had once contained all of the buttons. Our homeowner does not know it (and neither can we...
Guess I'm straying from the main story again, aren't I? Back to work...
It's also kind of ironic that I found a SC State Seal button here in Brunswick, GA, when I have yet to find a GA State Seal. Twice I've had...
Yes! It can happen, under certain "sweet spot" conditions here, in well drained sandy soil. But only sometimes. MY first (and presently only)...
My local dig buddy Billy R is one lucky schmuck! Of course he has the mad skills, too. Detecting and relic hunting ain't as easy as some folks...
My local relic buddies here are all about the CW military relics first and foremost, though since they're bushwhackers who find the...
I think most of the regular issue CSA belt plates were plain brass - I've seen dug examples that tend to be rather dark. But I'm sure there were...
Separate names with a comma.
