This. Neither of my kids could give a fiddler's fart about coins, but I'm hoping for an enthusiastic grandchild. Don't have one of those just...
PS- I just read again and saw you said 1928 Peace dollar. This clinches it. You officially suck. ;)
What an awesome, fun find! Thanks for giving us a nicely detailed peek at it.
Wow. Your image is a quantum leap beyond the seller's. I'm sure that worked to your advantage. Off to read your treasure find tale, now, which...
Yep. You said it. Pretty messed up. Roadkill. Worth about 0.6 cents, probably. LOL
Neat little flecks of gold in that countertop, though! :D
Looks OK to me, but I've been snookered by sandy patina before. Still... Seleucid, so at least from a region that's known for genuine sandy...
$150? Wow! Old "good luck" tokens are fun. I've dug a few while detecting, including this neat "Swami" piece. [IMG] Here's video of me...
"Non-minted"? Huh?
For those who are fans of the Swiss cityview piece, here's the TrueView, so you can zoom in and virtually walk the streets of Tigurum...

Rams. Hmm. Tough. Will goats (capricorns) be close enough? Ancient Roman Empire: silver "Capricorn" denarius of Vespasian, struck by Titus ca....
@Stork (or anyone else) - seeing the "Treasurebox" montage in the OP? How about the 1834 USA Bust half? And the Peacock token at the end? I...
Thank you for telling me that. I keep forgetting that you can't grab images out of PMs. You have to save and upload them elsewhere first. When...
Fasces. [IMG] Next, using the same coin, how about people with wings (or birds) on their heads, or winged helmets?
No idea, but the title sounded so salaciously naughty somehow, I just had to come look. :P
It's a pretty coin and those are awesome images. I have no idea what you've discovered, though.
Thanks, 'Yoda! :) That Seljuq "Lion & Sun" piece was actually one of the most inexpensive pieces in the current box, having cost barely over a...
Boy, I love the Portuguese designs of that era, and the one @mackat just posted is a stunning example. Let's do Germany or 1916 next, since I...
