Just two days left until we begin! :) Randy and I are prepackaging our prize lots. I happen to know that in addition to the declared prizes you...
Oh, sorry. I thought you had been referring to the coin, not the monument. I forgot about the final poses on the monument, and how they differ...
Wow, she scored a windfall and was upset about it. Go figure. Even if she (obviously) was not interested in the collectibility of the coin, she...
Great find, Sal! I never dug a three-cent piece in all my detecting days. OK, here- I'll dust off and repost one of my old stories. This was...
Yesterday was my 48th birthday. No, not my actual birthday, but rather my numismatic birthday. My 48th anniversary as a collector. Tonight at...

Here's a holey coin that still had some value- and it was pedigreed to one of the most famous collections of all time. Zeno (emperor of the East,...
Here's an 1864-L Indian that got... umm... ventilated. ;) [IMG] [IMG]
Ha! I thought that wretched lot of abused Indians looked familiar! Who's the dastardly fellow who would send you such a pile of junk? ;)
Yep. Clipped (incomplete) planchet. Neat find. Not worth much, but cool, and worth a little bit more than a regular cent of that date would be,...
I agree, except for the part about dipping it in acetone over time. It's not worth the hassle, since it's just a quarter. Spend it.
BTW, I took the liberty of using my moderator powers to crop and repost your images in the original post, so they would be easier to see. You can...
