I don’t have any one “dream coin” in particular, but this was my first aureus, purchased after decades of dreaming of one (and assuming I’d never...
This has definitely turned out to be one of the more bizarre thread resurrections. :rolleyes:
Planchet= coin blank. Planchette= Ouija board doohickey (as mentioned).
Exactly. The point is that (like this necro thread), it’s old news that nobody cares much about anymore. (Now watch me be wrong- LOL).
And trying to start an argument in a nearly six-year-old thread doesn’t make you look a whole lot better. ;) It’s kind of like lobbying for or...

Both rescues, but no relation to each other. I do like Tuxedo cats.
Greetings, Meow. Welcome back. Elvis and Bojangles were just looking out the window, wondering when you would show up again... :cat: (Or maybe...
I'll move this thread to World Coins.
No, it doesn't look even remotely like a proof. It's plain to see that this one is a standard business strike. A proof would have much more...
