An inert safety flip, or, as already mentioned, an Airtite holder. That's an awesome coin roll hunting find. It is astonishingly well preserved...
That's very nice, too. In fact, that's how I displayed my first Roman collection. Indeed, I still have and use my binder like that- it is next...
"Killingholme Hoard" intrigued me, so I Googled it. Cool! You're making me desire a coin with a published hoard provenance now. Maybe...
Does that thing have a camera in it? I'd love to soar out above the St Simons Island lighthouse and pier, shooting sweet aerial video, but...
That is a very handsome display indeed. I took a different tack entirely for my "budget" 12 Caesars set. Most of you traditionalists who like...
@Fee - do you have any Mint State Wheat cents yet? If not, I'd be happy to send you two or three full-Red BU pieces as a gift. They will be...
I suspect you'll get common, generic, high-pop coins, as mentioned. Stuff sold through these programs is likely, like the stuff sold on TV,...
Wow, @Cucumbor - that is an exceptional example! I like the smiling, childlike portrait on the one @jamesicus posted, as well. The wavy hairdo...
And was Fausta "cleansed in finest quality spring water" before being "lightly killed"? One certainly hopes so. I mean, familicide must be done...
Wonderful pieces. I'm sure they're all the more impressive in hand.
So am I to understand she was just killed a little bit?
Quite the "Faustian bargain"! ;) It certainly makes the one from my old collection look rather woebegone by comparison. [IMG] Though memory...
WW2 trench art, probably. A ton of these got made into buttons and charms and love tokens and were sent home as souvenirs to the sweethearts and...
Yes, it's an 1807 halfpenny. Interestingly, it looks as though it once had some kind of love token engraving done to the reverse, which got...
Yes, in the lower grades (below XF-AU or so), a cent like this should be brown under most environmental conditions. When you see colorful toning...
Great pictures. I'm jealous of you gif-makers. They look a little trippy sometimes, though. Sure did capture the cartwheel luster on that...
@ColonialCoin4 - you aren't disqualified forever, y'know. Post something else ... on the World Coin forum this time! ;) And everyone can have up...
Well, we're movin' on back, aren't we? Still not far enough that I can participate much. Oh, well, here's another from that old PCGS Registry...
The toning may have occurred naturally, but that is still secondary toning. The coin was cleaned. It might have spent some time in an old folder...
Here are the Photograde examples. Scroll back to see the lower grades. I actually prefer the older ANA standards with line drawings more, but...
