Cool concept-- Coin Rarities has an "Esoteric" coin section, with uncommon coins/items

Longacre

Here is a cut and paste from Coin Rarities' website regarding its "Esoteric" section of coins and other items. I checked out the items under this listing, and it contains some interesting things. It is nice to take a look at rather uncommon items that you don't see every day. Here is the information and the link:

Check out the Esoteric section of our inventory listings.

We'd tell you what you might find there, but we ourselves have no idea from one day to the next.

It could be an off-beat foreign coin, an early American circulating counterfeit, a numismatic book or some other interesting item we picked up somewhere along the line.

Think of it as the best of all of that wierd stuff you see at shows, or buried in the way, way back section of auction catalogs, or gathering dust in your eccentric grandmother's attic (provided that your grandmother was a coin collector, had an extremely large attic and assembled a collection of really cool stuff over a period of half a century).

Bump. These are pretty cool. Does anyone have anything similar?

I'll buy a counterfeit Halfpenny of of eBay now and then. They're still cheap. I've paid between $40.00 up to about $90.00 for a nice one. The 1776 date and the double strike does add value, I'm just not sure how much.

I'd love to own both those pieces.

Checked it out last week - really liked this one.
