Featured What is a "CircCam", you ask? Look and see! And post yours!

Some nice examples shared from many. Always been a bit gun-shy of "circams"...if so many that are out there...but the only two I ever thought nice enough to submit for grading years ago came back "cleaned"...so there must be something with a certain type of cleaning that ends up with a circam appearance. Still, like their general appearance, esp the sepia-tones...and have several in raw, AU-MS. Don't clean so don't know what leaves a "circam" look.

Here’s an acquisition from last month that fits the theme of this thread:

 

This one came yesterday, 1927 GB Straits Settlements 20 cents, got a little bit of circ cam appearance to it. AR .600, so does not tone as nicely dark as the older coins do.

 

AH1238/(~AD1823)/Ry.18 Baroda AR rupee

 

My first coin from Nicaragua.

 

Nice one!

 

I think nearly all Barber designs wear very well.

 

Tha

t might be an interesting topic in of itself. Why did Barbers wear so well, but Ikes, and Washington Quarters, not so well.

 

1894 S US 25 cent. I just love all the coins from this era.

 

Nice. I think the best so far

 

Start that thread. Let’s see

 

Caught this one fishing on the 'bay this afternoon. Cropped seller's pics.

 

That one is proud and stately . . .
