The police here have always been friendly and have never hassled me unless called by some irate homeowner adjacent to one of the (public) parks or...
This is a good point. For some of these series, comparing business strikes and proofs is apples and oranges. Take, for instance, the 1877 Indian...
Dont let the online "Lord" title fool you. In point of fact, I am a mere peasant. I am a low-ranking hotel night clerk whose hourly wage would...
Not any more. Now it's just an empty hat with some little semiprecious stone "dangles" on it, and empty fishing swivels. But I just started...
Thanks, but sorry if I hijacked or unintentionally derailed it. I got excited there when I found the old pictures of my holey coins, which I...
It was! I did do it a second time with my old "Twelve Caesars" set, and of course I still dabble a little with Romans in the present "Eclectic...
I never would have considered someone doing a Box of 20 based on varieties of the plastic, but the idea has merit. I susupect most people are not...
I suggested to Zohar that he post his full-thaler piece here, even though it totally outclasses my quarter-thaler. It just had to be seen. Both...
It was indeed an attention-grabber at shows, and the only time in my life I've been a flamboyant extrovert (Internet excluded). It was pictured...
(Link to Photobucket album below) This was my first novice collection when I finally got serious about ancients. I decided to do an "A to Z"...
Some folks had asked for pictures of my old Holey Coin ensemble, and I couldn't find them. Thought them lost for good, but then I discovered I...
Just a few holeys, covering the four 19th century types. :happy: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
I denuded the hat of all the gold coins in the big 2013 purge, when I started the Box of 20 (all of my prior collections except my metal detecting...
Neat! As you can see from my avatar, I once collected a lot of "holey" coins, but since this is the Ancient forum, I'll just share the ancients....
I will add that I did find a Gem BU, nearly Full Steps 1940 Jefferson nickel in a roll of mostly new 1992 nickels, back in '92 or '93. That was...
This doesn't count, since you've announced a winner and because it was not from a roll out of the bank, but rather part of a bulk bag of Wheaties...
Just what I call "satiny" luster, is all. But please don't ask me to define that. LOL. Regardless what you call it, that's a beautiful coin....
Oh, hey- I have an ANACS sample (blue label, when they first came out with the larger slab size they currently use). Has a Bison nickel in it...
PS- whaaat? No black-label NGC or PCGS Regency holder? Tsk, tsk. Get busy, man! ;) (Not that the latter would fit into a traditional slab...
The plastic variety is interesting. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, consider me flattered! Now, since you have nine coins left...
