Neat detail.
Yes. "Circulation Cameo". As to 1766, I wish I had a picture of the 1766 British guinea which was reportedly dug in a local park here by a...
That little beauty is a CircCam! I love that look on old silver coins. :)
Ditto. Misaligned die. Not dramatically misalinged enough to really be worth much of a premium, I'd imagine, but fun nonetheless. Enough to be...
I've had a few. They were more common in the Weimar Republic era. I suppose you'd identify them the same way you would any coin error: by type....
This has been done since ancient times for a variety of reasons: to use as jewelry or a charm or amulet, to carry one's coins on a string, etc....
Hm. Interesting. Never seen anything like that. Can't find anything on the currency, but Chifeng is a city. There is an Ordos City, too,...
Well, here are the results of the drawing! :) @Coinlover67 won Prize A, for the entry in Post #80. PM me your shipping address! @Alok Verma won...
They're still quite inexpensive in circulated grades. Maybe not THAT cheap, but relatively cheap still. These, like the Hungarian denars, are...

Great stuff. I love the "glow" toning on that Lucania. "Ancient-bombing" can be a good thing. :) Hey, did you know that in ancient times,...
At least I'm not a vegan, right? ;) Vegetarian I could do. Vegan, nuh-uh. I could put away some BLTs right about now. With guacamole. On rye....
I agree on both counts. I will almost certainly go for Coin A because it was the clear winner in the poll AND is about a hundred bucks cheaper....
12 votes on Coin A, now, so it's time for the reveal. This is Coin A. [ATTACH] This is Coin B. [ATTACH]
Well, Coin A is certainly crushing Coin B in the poll, which I didn't expect. If it gets one more vote it will have crossed the "dozen"...
For my first visa in the virtual passport (first post in this thread), I'll hop a short distance over to Mexico. Mexico (Spanish Colonial):...
Thanks. I think I've already made up my mind, but keep the poll votes and responses coming while I sleep on it (I got off graveyard shift at 7...
Don't sell yourself short. I think that's a very rational and well-stated opinion, which runs parallel to my own in some places. I think these...
Don't feel bad. I've gotten my Baltic "L-" countries mixed up a time or two myself. ;)
Separate names with a comma.
