Wow! I'll bet it looks great. Even though I was staring at a monitor when I read this, the title took me off in another direction. Your big...
My thoughts exactly. That's actually pretty handsome "earthen patina". It sets off the tree perfectly, and does give it an eerie, otherworldly...
Weird swirly toning, there. Interesting.
I think it's a fine idea, since CT is such an important numismatic hub and learning resource already. FORVM does this with its "Resources"...
Say, @Mad Stax ... that one looks kinda familiar! ;) How about Germany and 1924? Same mintmark, too! Mine's a lower denomination and a...
Oh, yay, the perfect opening for one of my better, recent love token "newps". :) "Penny-farthing Pedal Pusher": pictorial love token on 1876...
Update: I did that very thing. :)
Continuing the "bell" theme. [IMG]
Thank you. That coin, like 98% of my pre-2013 collection, went away in "The Great Purge" when I started my present collection, so I did not have...
Did i previously post to this thread? Dont think so. I just stumbled across it. It deserves a reboot, so "bump" it goes, back up into the...

@Sallent - thank you. I consider that high praise, and live for comments like yours. This one isn't new - I bought it two or three years ago -...
Indeed, indeed! It is an incomparable rush. A 1730s George II farthing turned up for me further back in that same field, and another digger...
At risk of (temporary) digression from the present topic, I'd love to see it. I have managed to never have one one of those. I did find some...
A centennial commemorative. (Yes, I've posted it before.) German States (Saxony) silver 3 mark proof, Battle of Leipzig centennial...
Those are really neat looking. Sort of reminds me of the ancient bronze coins of Axum that have a little gold "plug" in them.
Fun! I like it. Fun video, too. Speaking of cheap Chuckies, here are two off my old Holey Coin Vest. 1676 penny (correction - twopence - thank...
A date I was missing. I no longer have these, so now I suppose you could say I'm missing all those dates. ;) $15 seems to be about par for the...
