Don’t look now but I think you’re missing something

Ever have a coin that seems to not be all there?

Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    That kind of redefines a Holey coin Brad!! :D

    Now, for all the Nuts, can we identify the DM? I'm not good enough, I need the reverse too, and then maybe ...

    Now THAT’S a deep cameo…

    Would you call it a black/white cameo or just a dark grey/ black? 🤔

    Depends on the color of what you put behind it. An azure/gray cameo would be awesome.

    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    I think you may be correct!

    Such a shame.... However, I believe the removed piece was likely used for a piece of jewelry - pin or necklace. Cheers, RickO
