Actually, it was Descartes who wrote, "I think, therefore I am." (He wrote in Latin, cogito, ergo sum) long before Sartre was born. :) Sorry,...
Here is my total collection of Croatian coins, bought from a dealer's 5-for-a-dollar box.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
As it appears on my computer monitor, the color is a bit off. Perhaps it has been brass plated or something, but that may be just my monitor....
It is difficult to tell from a photo whether it is raised, indented, or just scuffed or stained. The coin in hand is three dimensional, but the...
Here's mine, not very nice, and I don't even know if it is genuine, but it fills a hole in my type collection. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
My first impression is 65.

I'm certainly no expert, and it certainly could be double struck, but I would think more would show up on the reverse as well if that were the...
Very nice clash!
As Paddyman98 said, it is a circulated, and therefore impaired, proof. Not much money value, but hey, it cost you only a dime. I think it is a...
Unlike some, I find the broken ladder cool. Not, mind you, cool enough to keep a $100 bill, but cool enough to keep it if it were, say, a $1...
