That's a very handsome, original-looking key date coin with what I call "The Look". I collected VG-F Barber halves for a little while in a Dansco...
By all means, post your Venetian coins, too! [IMG] A joke from my middle school days: Q- how do you make a Venetian blind? A- poke 'im in the...
I can't explain in any rational way why I'm less enthused about Venetian coins. I certainly don't dislike their coins, but it is true that I find...
Great country, eh? Never been there (except for a brief flyover above the Maritimes), but I like Canadians and would love to see the place one...

I agree.
Glad to hear that! I thought that was fun when I heard who it was going to. :)
Interesting. You have a good memory. FWIW, the link that Mat provided to that FORVM fake report just led me to the login page, and when I logged...
Look OK to me?
Neat two-headed type.
I will say that's a neat way to photograph a coin. Would be a bit better if you used a bolt whose head was a little smaller, so it didn't stick...
How can one not click on a thread entitled "Mysterious Sicilian Island"? A title like that beckons. I daresay you could put it up on a movie...
