Or any number of a thousand other environmental factors.
I'm sure you know the interesting story behind those saltwater damaged ones, yes?
There is indeed a bit of color there, and nice luster, but the green spot is unfortunately some cause for concern. You could try acetone, but I'm...
@cladking -Hi, Sam! Good to see you here on CT! Long time no see, oldtimer! @Chris Newbie - welcome!
I agree with @paddyman98. Very nice error, and certainly valuable, but with a $1,500 offer on the table, I'd say "SOLD!" with a quickness.
Not worth very much monetarily in circulated grades (and modestly priced even in most of the Uncirculated grades), but still a good find and...
Why are you shuddering at Zander Klawans? Is there some other ancient coin collector subtext there that I'm not privy to? (If so, it won't be...
They are, kind of. I can't confirm that they would meet a TPG's definition of PL, but they're certainly flashy. Both of those two happen to have...

Undated, but attributed to 1615. I had to check the rules to see if this one would fly. It seems it can, since it is attributed to one...
Looks natural to me. Could be heat-induced, though I don't mean to suggest that heat was deliberately applied. Looks like some pieces I found in...
Draw a line SW-ish from either Martinique or Guadeloupe and you can hit the northernmost tip of Colombia. Colombia (Spanish Colonial): gold...

The I.G.W.T. motto is rather weakly struck, but not so much that it would be worth any kind of premium. This isn't terribly unusual. I'm not...
Which one?
I'm curious- does this coin have a mintmark? (Just a random question- it has nothing to do with the rim bump or anything else.)
Because the hit displaced the metal, same as a dent in a car fender would, for example. I agree with everyone here so far- this particular coin...
@savitale- this has nothing to do with the topic at hand, but I've admired your avatar coin before. Is that yours? Looks nice and prooflike. [IMG]
