Fun idea. I was once about four or five dates shy of a complete holed 1793-1857 date (not variety) set. No 1793, 1795, 1799, or 1804, of course....
Amwldcoin is a PCGS/Collectors Universe member. I recognize the username. Must have discerning taste in Barber coins. That's a pretty...
Yep. Looks like the real deal. A rather common late Roman bronze. The price was about right.
(The French Louis XV jeton previous listed here sold - fast - on Collectors Universe... in less than an hour and a half! But here are a few other...
Oh, and I forgot to mention, as I did in the other thread, that the person I sold this piece said he is going to donate this coin to the Canadian...

Thanks. Yep, that's pretty much how it happened. This is the neat thing about love tokens, particularly those with a full name on them. You can...

How does one then dispose of the unwanted face-value stuff? Redeposit it at another bank, perhaps with markings on the rolls so if you come...
That, or reacting to getting hit in the left eye with that snowball.
WOW. That's just NUTS.
Definitely more late medieval looking than Dark Age-ish, like a Saxon coin would be. It did look Portuguese to me, too, based on the cross, but...
Could be worse. You'll know they've really jumped the shark when you see an ancient coin in a holder like this. ;)
Oh. Heck. Yeah.
At least they didn't put it in a "prong" style insert. LOL
$35.60. Tinsmithing tools on an 1853 dime. Pretty neat, if you ask me. (Actually, I've got a ton of other <$50 stuff.) [IMG] [IMG]
