Cool piece! The armored car folks seem to have the best opportunities for finding stuff like this. I once helped out in a coin shop and the...
Looks fine to me, as well. Can't say I've ever seen a fake with a ragged flan like that. Maybe they exist, but I haven't seen one in my...
Indeed, indeed. Or kept a close eye on the ground. Hey, you never know what might even be lying right on the surface. Not that I'm suggesting...
@Curtisimo does it again, proving worthy of his custom title.
Thank you. Sure, you'll have a cool coin or two, if you make that a priority. Maybe more than one or two!
Shoot me a message with a link to the auction and I will check it out. Not listing it with a low start like 99c isn't an error; it just means...

Here are some photos I shot yesterday. We had daughter Victoria's Sweet Sixteen party at Gascoigne Bluff on St. Simons. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
I happen to agree, but let's not go there. 'Tis probably best not to spark too much controversy on what is intended to be an upbeat discussion...
The only silver SC quarters struck were proofs, which would bear the San Francisco "S" mintmark. There were, of course, all those novelty plated...
Tough coins. I've only had one or two of the large sized ones. Had an 1815 PCGS VF25 once, as I recall. I really like the original grey toning...
