Man, I wish I could see the steps on the walkway to our front door that easily!
Your (excellent as usual) close-ups make it look like the "patch" is acid-damaged, and since the pattern's uniform across the field and device, I...
If it is base metal, and if it came from a bargain bin of coins that were advertised as silver, I think I'd go back and speak to the dealer --...
Look at those reverse stars -- heck, all the stars -- and especially the blob on the star at 3:00. I don't think there's any "wear pattern" that...
I'd like to get some older German coinage someday, but I'd probably be looking for 18th-century, as that's when most of my ancestors apparently...

I found that I got nearly all my kick out of hunting and finding things, not having them. The thrill of filling the last slot in a folder was...
Not sure about the rolling part, though. All the stuff I have because "I might need it someday" -- when I'm gone, I won't need it any more. Need...

That's a price at which I'd consider buying one. I'll never like images of the back of someone's head exploding.
What use would they have for iron?
Wish I'd taken some in-progress shots of the 1964 half-dime (one piece of a dime that I cut in half) that I dissolved in nitric acid....
