Alrightey, then. Costa Rica borders on Nicaragua. I don't have any individual picture of a Costa Rican coin handy, but here, I'll borrow some...
Well, you'd need a time machine to get to British Honduras, anyway.
It's a denarius of Septimius Severus. I see no reason to doubt its authenticity.
I've had some that were a little bit soft there, but nothing like that. That's neat.
The slightly blurry focus of the reverse photo makes that difficult, but in any event, I'm not the person you wanna ask on grading AU-MS Jefferson...
Ouch! That's pretty humiliating.
Aha! OK. Interesting! I'd love to hear how this coin here (might) be attributable to him. That would be pretty cool.
PS- I will add that while the obverse might have fooled me, that reverse has a real "Made in China" look to it, especially the softness of the...
Definitely fake. I too wondered who Mark Hoffman was. As usual, Wikipedia came to my rescue. Once I read skimmed the article, I do remember...
"Cheap coin but a great look" is where it's at, man! You've gotta love those! (And I agree, in this particular case.)
I would tend to go more with a "heat-induced toning" verdict on the coin in the OP rather than "urine residue", but of course I dunno for sure...

Nice. The toning looks OK to me, at a glance, anyway.
I like to smear them in peanut butter. Preferably JIF brand. Crunchy JIF. That's the thing. But Peter Pan brand will do in a pinch. Apply the...
Its only value is whatever someone would pay you for it. I'd say a few cents to a dollar at most, if somebody liked it as a knickknack.
They're either plated or cast replicas of Philippine 20-centavos pieces. The details are too squishy and indistinct. However, if there are real...
Indeed. This is not a coin, but a medallion made in imitation of the Spanish arms as seen on this 8-reales piece. (Though yours says "4",...
Another "Madonna & Child" coin from Hungary, but larger and later than the previous one in Post #2293. [IMG]
"A bit north"? LOL ;) That's quite a bit north! I looked at a map, though. I think you could draw a straight line from the Falkland Islands...
