Yes, those irk me, too. My ex-wife used to use "threw" instead of "through".
The ones in that picture you posted not only had extreme rotation, but rather convex flans, as well!
Yep. Another "bottle cap". I do like the patina like yours has. That's the first thing that made me a fan of Seleucid coins. They so often...
I love Seleucid coins, and that one has a great portrait and a pleasing overall look. The biblical history is just icing on the cake, and well...
Yes, there does seem to be something going on there, though I have nothing intelligent to add. Clashmarks would be my guess.
My theory? It's a "parking lot penny". Though not as severely roadkilled as a penny found in an asphalt or gravel lot, this one was probably in...
Yep. Microabrasion, though from what, who knows. "Sandblasted", indeed. Environmental damage, almost certainly.
Yeah, they are weird looking. Some kind of strange filter or editing effect? Looks almost like it went through the "posterize" or "oil painting"...
I'm a more than a little OCD myself, but this issue doesn't bother me much if at all. Collecting as many ancient and medieval coins as I do, one...
I'm not so sure? Looks raised. Not too much PMD that adds metal in one area without leaving a mark or depression somewhere else. Interesting!...
LOL That's the worst, ain't it?
Understandable. I like Flying Eagle cents. I'll bet yours looks better in hand. Have you gotten it yet? Looks like the white balance was off in...
Not a bad buy for the money, but it doesn't even remotely approach the coin in the OP.
That coin should be liberated from its scuffy slab and go to PCGS for a TrueView, in my opinion. Then again, you might not think it worth that,...
Unlike many people, I've kept (reasonably) decent records on them since 1992, though unfortunately I only did that with the "keeper" coins and not...
It would, but that ain't gonna happen while I'm alive! It remains in my "dug keepers" album. I don't sell my dug stuff. (Most of the time,...
LOL. I'll remember that one! :)
Cud was my thought, too. It doesn't appear to have been smooshed, as it's the correct size and thickness.
I'm gradually imaging my detector finds from 1992 to the present, and making a game out of it over on the Contests Forum. Come see "LordM's Epic...
Need a little proofreading from everyone on this. Everyone's latest, most recent score should be the lowest one listed, in bold text. Check me...
