I like it. I believe that is what is referred to as "anepigraphic" by ancient coin peeps. (i.e., without a legend.) Much like the United...
I want one of those. And one of the hexagonal Belgian Congo pieces with the elephant.
@Stork- What a breathtaking addition! Perfect tie-in, to show the ancient inspiration for your Albanian coin's design. Zog's infatuation with...
It's interesting how seamlessly the center ring of that bimetallic Czech coin "blends" on one side. On the reverse (city) side, you can barely see...
It's in my "Eclectic Box". See link in signature line. :) Long story short, it's a Seljuk (or Seljuq) dirham from the 13th century (AH...

Yes, by the "24-hour Rule" in the OP, you had the right to reset the theme when it went dormant. Lions have been done aplenty, and I'm sure I've...
There's also the 'Tater Trick, and the Microwaved Peroxide Trick... ;)
Oh, despite the fact that the coin you treated started out being worth one cent and ended up being worth one cent, I'd say from an aesthetic...
I suppose it's also possible that there's some bias here. Perhaps an odd, quirky feature like this is far more jarring to us post-industrial...
Apparently "centration" is not quite the right term. See the link @Roman Collector put in Post #2. There is some interesting stuff in there.
I think that right there is forensic proof of the invention of firearms a millennium or so earlier than previously believed. And Zeus lost the...
I've never owned a Zeus/Eagle Ptolemaic bronze, or for that matter, any Ptolemaic coins ... yet. I like the design - quite a bit - but it seems...
@Roman Collector - thanks for the correction, and the link. I edited the title, though I had already placed the misnomer in quotes. It doesn't...
Just sayin'. I know they're an "as made" thing, but I can't quite get past the fact that they look like a deep gouge in the coin, as though...
I agree with everything said here. Most of this stuff is not worth a significant premium over face value, though some are fun to have. Are you...
PS- I rather like what the doubling did to William Edward the Confessor's face. Gives him a rather craggy appearance. Nice flan, nice toning,...
It did have me scratching my head. LOL. You should see a "Thread Tools" link at the top right of your post. Within that, there should be an...
Then it still would have been a Memorial cent with surface issues. LOL ;) (Sorry, those personally do nothing at all for me. LMC are not on my...
Yes, that is exactly what I used it for. But when your unwanted, irredeemable coin happens to be something like a 200-year-old Draped Bust cent...
Separate names with a comma.
