Congrats. It’s a cool piece.
Kind of you to think so generously. You’ve been so courteous and thoughtful in your time here, I’ve noticed. if you wanted my help running a...
Did I mention I recently started collecting IHC again, but with holes in them? That little cluster you see on my cork board is the beginnings of...
And that’s how it should be. Looks like you’ve got the whole enchilada there. Congrats.
Agreed.
I don’t say that at all. I might say that if the coin had been whizzed or polished or cut, knifed, etc. Mistreated in modern times, in other...
Looks good to me, and the counterstamps, while they reduce its value in the mainstream sense, are interesting and worthy of research. In the...

I don’t know where most of the ones on the collector market came from, but Sergei of Metal Detecting World (one of the best- if not the best-...
“Found in circulation”. THAT set is gonna take some time to complete! (Like a few lifetimes.) But bravo! Epic quest! (If a rather Herculean...
