Yep. Definite clashmarks. Very pronounced. I think they're neat, though not everyone likes them. They seem to be more common on 3cNs than any...
I slab my ancients because that's how I choose to store and display them, but I would be one of the last to advocate anyone using a slab as a...
Here's to your pursuit of the next half of 'em! I'd have thrown something in the hat had it been passed my way. You deserved a nice "out of the...
I think I can hear the portrait on that coin speak. Wow. Could've sworn I saw the eye blink.
Frankly, I couldn't care less. It's all absurd. I wasn't even looking at that. I was talking about how I once bought a Roman coin in a similar...
Breakfast cost $4.06 this morning. I had a $5.00 bill. Normally I would've given that plus six cents to the cashier, so I would get a...

Ditto.
Yep. A dug dime. The silver ones come out of the ground nice and bright, under most soil conditions, but the copper-nickel clads like this turn...
Already had this on my clipboard from posting in other threads, so might as well post it here as well. :) [IMG]
I'd love to have a gold cob someday. Panzerman's gold 8-escudo is of course amazing, as usual. I think pretty much anything Spanish from the...
I dunno if the Nevada state quarter design is my favorite modern coin, but it's certainly my favorite out of the 50 Statehood quarter designs,...
German States (Hesse-Darmstadt): silver kreuzer, 1866 [IMG] [IMG] Tiny, but an amazingly prooflike little supergem. Pop 2/0, so tied for finest...
Belgium (Austrian Netherlands): copper 2 liards (2 Oorden), Insurrection coinage, 1790 [IMG] (NGC MS63 BN; pop. 3/4)
What comes around goes around, brother. So once again, I owe you one. ;)
