Cute doggos. Whats “the Macro Mantis”?
What do I love to collect? A little bit of everything, as many of you know. I like Ancient Greek coins with high artistry. I like Roman...
Say, if anyone wants a chance at a free cob, there’s a Potosi 1-real in my Giveaway Gallery as of this posting (April 2024). The current giveaway...
This is an extra entry post for @paddyman98. (The least I could do, in gratitude for his donating that silver cob mentioned above.)
I did too, which is how it ended up in my shopping basket back in January when I was buying stuff to expand the giveaway selections. I was...
This point comes to mind. Gold is a relatively soft (-er) metal and double eagles are big, heavy coins, so bagmarks and minor scuffs and...
Keep ‘em beeping! The silver stack grows! Love finding a silver quarter! Looks like one of those Buffaloes was a lawnmower victim after it got...

I agree with this. Under melt, you say? Already slabbed? Well, that’s a win any way you slice it! Congrats! Quite a coup. My sole $10 Indian...
All you’ll find in our closet is a pile of dirty laundry- mostly towels- and either a Siamese cat or a dachshund sleeping in the pile, depending...
Long-belated update: the NGC grade was PF67 UCAM. [ATTACH] With gold topping $2,300/oz recently, I’m now ahead on this investment, even...

I put a new giveaway up for April, in case you haven’t been over to the Contests forum lately. Also added some new items to the prize box. :)...
@Paddy54! You’re back! Good to see you!

Caligula VESTA asses seem rather overpriced...
