Yes...thank you John! I love history...and coins. A 2-for-1.
2 thoughts - 1) If you CRH long enough, you will eventually get a discovery piece. It happens quite often, just less so on coins that are more...
@furham nailed it.
Here in the east coast, Smint finds are fun!

I'm 30 years behind as a collector, and I wish I had the eyes that I had when I started. Now, a good pair of reader glasses, a magnifying lamp,...

It looks like there is a clash showing too.
Could be one of mine! ;-)
Always fun to find an LWC! As Sal points out, what you are seeing there is Machine Doubling or machine damage. It's an illusion to real doubling...
It's a terrific looking specimen. I think that the TrueView adds...and detracts. To Bob's comments, the TrueView allows a closer look at the...
Split plating lends to the formation of hydrozincite and eventual collapse. As noted by our fellow enthusiasts, split plating eventually allows...
A kind fellow enthusiast. I did not know of his passing, but he will surely be missed by his fellow CT enthusiasts. As Pam said, he was patient...
