Careful with those beers, or you'll end up sporting a collection of colorized plastic "Hello Kitty versus Godzilla" medallions after a frenzied...
Yeah, I had to look him up.
Ah, neat. I never noticed the little horned critter on that Albanian coin. Just figured that fella had a particularly pointy cap on. Funny how...
I was unfamiliar with this 1975 CuNi issue. Interesting. Perhaps it was made with some intention to cash in on the Panama Pill's popularity? It...
Here's the 1907 on NGC. There were later CuNi types as well.
That one would've been more than welcome on my old Holey Coin Vest. Nowadays I only do love tokens and trench art engraved pieces, rather than...
Love the owl, love the patina. I've come really close to grabbing similar Seleucid owls on at least a couple of occasions, but it didn't quite...
Wow. I. Have. No. Idea. That's interesting. I've never noticed these, and if I had seen just one example, I'd have immediately assumed "machine...
They certainly knew how to do gaudy impressive uniforms back then, didn't they?
No Kaiser Bill birdheaded portrait on this, but it's a neat piece of German WW1 trench art I picked up for my growing love token/engraved...
To my knowledge, only the 1904 issue (the tiny silver piece) has this nickname. The later (copper-nickel) issues were bigger, and therefore not...
Here's the coin I was thinking of. (This one isn't mine - I've had the type before, but not a proof.) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] (Image credit: NGC.)
Handsome fella. I certainly know how they like to "help out" with tasks like that. [ATTACH]
Alas, one fewer, now. But that just means I'll have to get busy finding something cool to take its place. ;)
All right, I'll admit you may have a more impressive 'stache, but MY hat could totally eat yours. [ATTACH] I'm just sayin'... [ATTACH] OK,...
I once dug a 1940s Aussie sixpence that had been domed out to make a comvex button. Lots of Australian silver pieces were made into love tokens...
@RonSanderson- you animated that little model half-farthing nicely. If I remember correctly, it's smaller than a dime? I thought you might like...
Here is a (dateless) Buffalo nickel I dug up, early in my detecting career. It appears to have a die break (cud) on the reverse. Note the raised...
I've posted nearly 5K in the last year alone. ;) I joined in 2007 but only posted 10 or 12 times before wandering off and forgetting to come...
Certainly does appear there's something going on, there. I suppose a planchet flaw like a major lamination could have indeed been the culprit....
