@Joshua Lemons 1 of my topical themed collections is "Coins with Insects" Here is a link to see those coins...Link: https://collectivecoin.com/spirityoda/all-coins/nJ4jcxZJePbbAuChbguO

 

@Joshua Lemons I have 2 insects in my collection so far. A green scarab and a leaf bug. That is a quarter on the right side for scale.

 

First thing I ran across this morning.

F. G. Spadone elongated cents. Numismatic author in days gone by.

1963-1964 edition.

 

Spadone? He's the one who got me thinking strike doubling was a "rare and valuable error/variety" when I was a kid! Doesn't that book actually list the "Poor Man's Double Die 1955 Cent" as a collectable variety?

 

I think it does list it as "micro shift date" or maybe the "last 5 shift".



Even the 1966 C.O.N.E. Book, Register of Numismatic Errors has 20 listings for
"last 5 shifted east".

 

Wow that’s a busy coin with lots of details

 

Just dug these out looking for another item.
Both came from the UK some 25+ years ago.
The seller had some odd vintage/antique stuff and would combine shipping costs.
One is a large bone cameo 9k gold (probably guilded) said to be 300+ years old, I was intrigued and a French Napoleon III 20 Centimes type coin holder made of silver.
