You will be interested to know that it stumped the Google Gemini AI bot as well, which threw out three obviously wrong guesses. Yes, I “cheated”...
True, but I still weep no tears for his memory. Sounds to me like he deserved his ultimate fate, if sources are to be believed. Then again,...
I’ll likely smack my own forehead as well, when the answer is revealed. Edit: yup, sure did. :facepalm:
You must go through pretty good volumes of rolls to find that quantity of really old stuff. Oldest I ever found in my CRH days were 1909, 1911,...
Thanx for the Star Trek clip- otherwise your "sterilize" reference would've been lost on me. Boy, Gene Roddenberry sure foresaw the future,...
That still amazes me. I know that coin was only 75 years old in 1950, and you can still find 75-80 year old coins in change now, if you search...

Really? Wow.
Wow, a Judaea Capta sestertius is impressive. Here is the only Judaea Capta coin I have owned (in my first 12 Caesars collection). All I have...
Must have been quite an adrenaline rush. Looks like mostly Flavian silver?
Another from the John Quincy Adams Family Collection. I previously posted a different one back on Page 11 of this thread: Y'all are probably...
Good job on stumping me with this one, @The Meat man! ;) I’m still scratching my head. Let’s see if someone else will beat me to it (assuming I...
OK, this was my first thought. Obviously not the one, after all. Close- but no cigar, as they say. https://en.numista.com/3710 [ATTACH]...
