I forget exactly when I sold it. Would've bought it around 2003, as I recall. I definitely sold it before the 2008 recession and subsequent...
Not quote, according to the PCGS priceguide, but sure, wh not? You're in it for less than ten bucks. I'd buy it at that price.
Sweet! That one resembles my (so-far) greatest cherrypick. In the early 2000s, I bought a 1904 $20 that looked quite similar to that, in an old...
Seems plausibly similar looking to me!
Thanks, all. @Oldhoopster - I thought about those little hand hellers, too, and get the feeling this one is not too far removed from that in...

Sorry I don't presently have diameters and weights for you, but I can try to get those stats later, as needed. (I don't have these in hand as I...

I believe these came along since the last time I posted here. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Oh yeah, I forgot I added a piece of gold...
OK, I have seemingly been "beaten at my own game" by someone younger than my oldest kid. I can deal with it. No, really, I can. That isn't...
PS- speaking of giveaways - this summer I resolved to try doing one every month. I just realized we are halfway through September and not only do...
Thanks for the thought, but I already HAVE won stuff here. And received surprise gifts. @Nathan401 just sent me a pretty stabbed coin out of the...
PS- @Rexford - is your collection displayed anywhere online?
