I wonder why it says "sans ET IND: IMP:" for 1948-1952 instead of what it actually says (DEI GRATIA REX)....
Can't decide if this is treasured or trash. [ATTACH]
The coin doesn't do much for me and I find it rather morbid. I remember exactly where I was, sitting at my desk, listening to the launch on the...
Both also 1996, no denomination but apparently official Thai mint issues (medals?). One for the 50th anniversary, the second for the cremation of...
The commemorative set. (wow those are bad pics) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
@DEA Cool to see the types together in one post. You're missing the 1936 Dot. :joyful:
$10 was the original price too.
It's SP which are much cheaper than the circulation strikes. Even then they rarely appear for sale, I believe the estimate is around 200 total...
If we're allowed to post more than one, this was the Holy Grail for me for decades - the 1947 50c Maple Leaf Curved Right 7. I finally sprang for...
Fresh from the PO Box, the original Obv Type I / Rev Type II combination that ran from early 1892 to partway into 1900. 1900-P ANACS AU58. It's...
My impression is that for every long-term winner, there's ten losers, with dealers at shows having stacks of them. As I've said before, I fail to...

They were still restoring Dresden when we were there 3 years ago. I don't have pictures of coins subsequently re-spent in their home countries,...
Wait, I can't remember when "we" decided that. So it's dirt covering the corrosion that covers the scratches? Oops, it's newer dirt covering the...
That's the thing, isn't it? I spent the latter part of my career processing and analyzing aerial imagery. Sometimes you have to train yourself to...
You should! I think I have 4 US discovery coins now but you'll only find them in BCCS journal. The entertainment value for me in these threads is...
I rotated the image to presumably the proper orientation. There is strong low-angle lighting from the north. There is a dark shadow under all of...
Except that the corrosion goes over the "scratches" in numerous places and there is an old scratch towards the bottom that clearly goes through...
People actually spent Ikes in the early 70s and I swapped them out of the till, for no particular reason I guess, and their circulation ended. I...
Yeah good luck with that. He feels that only a single mysterious microscopic image is important to anything.
