Neat detail about the grapevine heraldry on those CT coppers. I wasn't aware of that. The only ones I have owned were in such low grade you'd...
Two 1787 British coins from my old "Holey Coin Vest" collection. The latter was gilded at one time, though it's hard to tell that in the photos....
Repost of my detector find from Post #2006. I might have other 1787s. I'll have to check. [ATTACH]
Eh, well. I can't talk. I've thrown plenty of money away at my own brands of rubbish.
We'll, I've signed up for both the Secret Santa and Secret Saturnalia events this year, so the real test of how discerning my eye is will be what...
A lot of the coins are pretty small, so they'd be hard to see properly: [IMG] I do certainly try to optimize for internet viewing since that's...
PS- @Jimski - I love that Massachusetts cent. A "common" variety with nice surfaces and good eye appeal like that is exactly the sort of thing...

This Canadian coin was the most modern I've had in my Eclectic Box. If I remember correctly, it didn't cost too much more than spot. It's a...
Yes. I haven't done that since I'm into the older stuff personally, but I think modern commems near spot, especially proofs, would be appealing....
Mine might be Lighthouse brand, I think? 25 slots. Check places like Wizard Coin Supply. [IMG]
Basic PCGS and NGC plastic 20-count slab boxes can be had for a few bucks. I might have one to spare - you pay shipping. Of course you can go...
Yes.
That's why that first gold coin is such a milestone for every young collector. Or I should just say collector in general, because some of us...
PS- I think @sakata's size comparison with a British sovereign is closer.
Gold is $1,268.40 per ounce right now. It is difficult to answer your "size of a quarter" question with any precision - since it's all about the...
I'm in. PM @Kirkuleez momentarily. I'm volunteering as an international shipper.
I only added ONE coin in my last update, but did add grades on four ancients just back from NGC, and some new pictures. Having stuff partly in...
I'm in.
