Man, this was a LONG writeup for such crasptastic finds (Spanish gold fakeout notwithstanding). I'm not a whole lot better nowadays, but do try...
It is hard enough getting a comprehensive reference of the myriad world coin issues together without going even deeper into one-of-a-kind errors....
PCI? Wow. I haven't had a PCI coin in over a decade, probably, though one of my best cherrypicks was bought in an older PCI green label slab. I...
Cool find on the Buffalo! It's hard enough to find those coin roll hunting, let alone finding one with a full date like that. Nice one! Yes,...
Very nice for a circulation find! Would've put a smile on my face, too.
John- Thank you so much for reading them and giving feedback. Makes my day. I saw the "likes". There are some videos, too, but I have not...
I got lucky. The information in this case fell into place in less than half an hour of web searching. I am not an exhaustive researcher or...

Am I correct in believing that NGC Ancients will not grade Kushan coins? Let me rephrase that, since I realize most of you here couldn't care...
Thanks! And thanks for bumping this one back up into the sunlight. I don't think very many people saw it when posted, as I tend to post in the...
Thanks!
Thanks for looking at some of my love token stories, and for the link to the moonmoth page. Fun read. Now, as to your amazing engraved 8-reales...
Exactly as it should be, then. I believe "satiny" is the most commonly used term. "Sheeny" is also an apt description, but unfortunately, that...
I can't at the moment, but I've often experienced it on my "Box of 20" posts that include 20 images (which, I believe, happens to be the maximum...
I get that too, but just assumed it was my own sketchy WiFi/satellite connection here at home in the boondocks. In my case, the later-in-a-post...
OMG, that's fantastic! LOL And here I thought the name Poopy-a... er ... um... Pupienus was funny!
