@chrsmat71 - I love that 1802 Swedish skilling. Have always liked the edges on those, too. And there's some great "ghosts" of an undertype...
Dang. A definite "no" on both counts.
Need another secretary?
Reflexes already proven. I didn't make up the part where I dropped it on the kitchen floor. The brick and my toes survived intact. The...
I needed to get a <$10 "Secret Santa" gift for our company party on Wednesday. This is one of those "blind gift exchange" things where everybody...
"How I went about getting my images for that and the other toners" is easy. I paid for Phil Arnold at PCGS to shoot TrueView images of them,...

@laurentyvan- Good, 'cause you've got a few more comin' your way soon. ;) Nothing that big, mind you- just some Frenchie stuff. Maybe some...
These forums are certainly broadening my already-broad numismatic horizons.
Yep. I do like the "cane topper" theory, though of course I do not know for sure. If not that, then certainly something like that, I would...
Depends on how one defines "style", I suppose. Similar to the basic design of an actual coin? Maybe. I dunno. But not THAT close, when you get...
