Baley, I could put them in my tumbler and clean them up overnight!

Oh, wait, there are emeralds in it right now!.

lordmarcovan

Russ- I knew that would be making an appearance.

Baley- that looks like a groovy uncleaned lot- nice big fat Byzantine follis on top! Line a bunch of those M's up and they spell "MMMM"!

I picked up this one on vacation last year in Toronto, Canada for $1 Canadian. Seeing peoples reaction to it when I show it is worth every penny.

CCR- Whats the deal with that one?

topstuf

One piece, completely hollow, very thin metal, lead weighted, flexible and bendy.

CCR- that's the ultrascarce "Evil Eye" variety Buffalo nickel, didn't you know that?

That, or the "Crotchless Buffalo" variety!



Topstuf- did you say "bendy" and "flexible"?

Now THAT is bizarro! I like it!

Yes, milord. Flexible AND bendy.

And BESIDES......not RIGID at all.

It`s a BB shot by a high powered BB gun/rifle and I bought it that way. My theory is that it was tacked up against a piece of wood and fired at. It`s very firmly imbedded into the coin and I can`t move it in anyway.

Hey Marty!

Did you leave that one in your aunt's basement too long?..

cosmicdebris

Arrived in a bulk lot of coins. I think someone forgot to put it through the press. 22mm diameter and 2mm thick at the rims?

majorbigtime

Phew! When I saw the heading, I thought you were asking people to show a private part or facial blemish!!

I have a strip of 6 1963-d pennies in some kind of cello. Bought it off ebay because the picture looked like they might have good luster for the date, but they're only avg BU's. I have no idea what it is though.
