Woo. Yeah. I've never owned a Laffy buck in 40 years of collecting. WTG.
This.
What did you want to know?
My large-flan EID MAR is not only rare... it's unique. [IMG] According to me. :D (Seriously, tho', I like @Eduard 's Vespasian sestertius, too.)
@Julius Germanicus - I'm glad you got your money back! That coin worried me very much, even before its identical dopplegangers started turning...
Yeah, those Belgian coins are "the forgotten steel cents". Made by our own US mint, on the same blanks. Part of WW2 history, around the time of...
Be very careful dipping proof coins, or handling them at all. While that one could benefit from a quick dip and thorough rinse to remove some of...
A Belgian 1944 2-franc piece would be a cool addition to a small subset of steel cents, since the US Mint struck those for Allied-occupied Belgium...
Wheel mark/details grade or not, that's supercool.
It does look like a repunched mintmark. Such things are not my forte- I'm not an error/variety guy, really- but I can see why you'd think there...
Hi, Kevin. First of all, "Gem" describes a choice Mint State coin in about MS65 grade range. Your coin is not Mint State at all- not even close-...

PS- that figure standing on the globe is Fortuna, the personification of Luck. In the Wikipedia page about her that I just linked to, it shows...
The last one is definitely Irish, and ca. 1806, as mentioned, but I think it could be a farthing rather than a halfpenny. How big is it? Closer...
I think it's a Denmark/Gluckstadt 1/16 thaler (1/16 Speciedaler), as Aethelred mentioned. Should be KM11, or similar. Here is one on eBay, but...
Best I can do in the tripod department; sorry. ;) [IMG]
@KirkCumberland - Cool type in the OP coin, there. From a very historically important place and time! I bought a really nice example of that...
Modern Hobo carving on a 2015-D Bombay Hook ATB quarter. (Only kinda-sorta relevant to a Washington quarter thread, I guess.) [ATTACH]
Titus does seem to be rather scowly on quite a few coins. Must've been a rather stern chap. The only ones I've seen who appear even more grouchy...
