Hi! Welcome to November! :) Let's do another drawing. As with my recent monthly giveaways, winners will be selected by random drawing; in this...
Well, the drawing is done, the random.org random number generator has spoken, and we have October's giveaway winner! It is @ace71499, for...
I fail to see what the PCGS webinar about grading proof coins has to do with anything in this thread, since your coin is NOT a proof.
There must be collectors of Venezuelan coins, both inside and outside of Venezuela. The modern pieces you mention often turn up in bulk lots...
As @cpm9ball mentioned, the only 1990 Lincoln with no "S" that's worth anything is a proof. They only struck proofs at San Francisco that year,...
We'd need to see an image of the actual coin, of course. The coin in your picture is a proof. If there is really a "5" where you marked that "S"...
I really like the look of that well-worn yet attractively toned drachm.
Egyptian themed. (Full disclosure: I'm "cheating", here. This is not my coin. Wish it was!) Resume Egyptian theme. I just felt like posting...

@Aethelred: your pix of the coin I used to (and still) affectionately refer to as "Big Al" look pretty good. Big Al is welcome back into my...
Yes, it looks like heat-induced toning to me. Except for the darkish patch behind FDR's head, it's not unattractive, though it's not really worth...
These huge/tiny contrasts are really fun. I wish I'd remembered to do a photo like that with this little thing while it was still raw. [IMG]
Lovely coin. I have no "Cappadocians", but I'd love to visit that area, particularly the cave dwellings.
Very nice, @dadams! Coingrats! I've had two Alexander tets, both posthumous (and a drachm, of which no pictures survive). I bought one of those...
Knights. German States (Teutonic Order): silver 1/4-thaler of Grand Master Maximilian of Austria, ca. 1615 [IMG] (PCGS XF45; population 1 - the...
I will say I've been very tempted by an item or two in his lists. Might give him a go one day.
Separate names with a comma.
