[ATTACH] 24mm., 16.9g. I purchased this cool imitative owl, for the novelty of the cool scorpion countermark. Robinjojo of numisforums thinks...
Just what I want, to walk around with a bunch of $1 coins. With what they're spending, they're not going to care about the peanuts that move...
Arrrgggh! It's too early in the morning! I meant it to be in the ancients forum. I had the two windows open. Could a mod move the thread, please?
I e-filed for the first time in my life (well, pertaining to non-local taxes). I used an IRS-recommended firm (which a co-worker also uses), and...

I'd like to thank Gallienus for the generous participation prize. It was a fun challenge to choose the best piece I could for the amount. I chose...

Here's what the overtype should look like...
The reveal: Pickin and Grinin is right on the money. I would have graded it VF+. It probably could pass for XF by wear. If one wanted to go...
