1789 Great Britain "spade" type half-guinea. [IMG] From my old "Holey Coin Vest" collection (off the "Holey Gold Hat"): [IMG] Holed or...
I never understood the appeal of Zombucks, personally, but to each his own.

Nice grey toning. I like it.
This. Nice haul!
Great!
There were lots and lots of medals and tokens struck for the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. That's a neat one. Haven't seen that design before.

Exactly. As modern pieces, they have no historic value, which original WW2-era pieces might arguably have had. They are therefore in slightly...
Slightly misaligned dies, I believe. Probably not enough to command much of a premium. I'm not an error specialist, however, so I'll defer to...
Sometimes it's a soft strike, but sometimes, as I suspect in this case, it's a result of wear. With this particular example, it looks like extra...
Those Bern(?) counterstamps are supercool! Hadn't seen that sort of counterstamp before.
