Of all America's Liberties, the Draped Busts are my favorite. Those are some lovely coppers. All of the high grade DB cents I've handled...
I found the coin when I put all the stuff back in my SDB, and lo and behold, like I had thought, there was an old chickenscratched, scribbly 2x2...
I'm assuming this compliment was directed @Stork, for I do not yet have a website.
I will keep my commentary short and to the point: WOW!
Drat! Dashed dreams again! :wacky: Ah, well. I suspected that "cherrypick" was too good to be true the moment I saw it. :)
I found the page that shows the Otho coin/jeton that was found on La Salle's 1686 La Belle shipwreck. Here it is. Obviously they've used a...
What about if it was already "ruined" 100, 200, or more years ago? I can see how some folks cringe with modern work, but as to the older stuff,...

An archaeological intrusion of an 18th to 19th century jeton on La Salle's 17th century wreck offshore strains my credulity just a tiny bit, but I...
My father and stepmother lived in Israel for a number of years (in Haifa). They would sometimes go to the beach at Caesarea. I understand there...
That's awesome. As I retold in another thread recently, I made a nice Lincoln cent find in 2006: This was my second-best cherrypick. Bought it...
Thank you! Boy, that one sure looked a lot older than 18th century.
@dollar - I like your avatar picture!
Great cherrypick!
Yes, I definitely respect you specialist wonks, even if I can't understand half of what you're saying half the time. ;)
