Then it must be truly breathtaking indeed to hold that piece in hand and feel its heft. I just had to go back to the OP for a second look....
Awesome post and amazing coins. I've always had a fondness for those short reigns, and the Year of Four emperors in particular. The Galba...
Double-headed bird. [IMG] Next, people wielding swords - or, if you're up to the challenge - a globus cruciger. (That little orb thing with a...
You owe it to yourself (and your potential customers) to get that authenticated before you sell it. I can't tell much, based on that one picture...
Nice farthing. Can't tell if it's Choice AU or MS. Looks like a "super-slider". I'd say AU58 minimum. Maybe MS63 BN on the better end.
So, first pick goes to you, @redeyelou - what'll it be? :) If you choose one of the prizes I put up, I'll need your address. If you choose a...
(Coin A) 1974 Bahamian 2-dollar coin, from lordmarcovan. [IMG] [IMG] (Coin B) 1987 proof Canadian "Loon" dollar, from lordmarcovan. [IMG]...
OK, it is time to announce our winners. Using the random.org random number generator, I have drawn five numbers (excluding duplicates and posts...
Both look Choice AU to me. The rim on the Irish piece looks to have some irregularities- perhaps I'm seeing discoloration there as well? I'm...

Fair question. "Cabinet" toning is simply an attractive sort of toning like one often sees on coins from old-time collections. In my...
OK, OK, so I UTTERLY FAILED at the history of the "W" mintmark. I don't collect modern coins. I STILL stand by my statement that that random...
I changed avatars yet again. Am rather flighty this week. But none of that has anything to do with @Chewmassa finding the really nice Wheat cent...
As a matter of fact, I did. Doesn't change the fact that there would be no such thing as a 1990-W quarter, however.
There would be no coin "already struck from West Point" with a "W" mintmark in 1990. That is impossible, without time travel. The first US coin...
Yeah, I hate it when people tell me the truth and I'm not ready to accept it. It sucks.
First of all, what torch? There is no torch on a Washington quarter. Are you referring to the fasces? What is "hsnd"? It is a damaged quarter....
PMD. Roadkill. Has the look of your average "parking lot penny", except it's a quarter rather than a penny.
Actually, there is an entirely different reason behind the new avatar, and I took the picture as an inside joke (more on this later- note the...
Separate names with a comma.
