Welcome to my BST Forum swaplist.
Terms of Sale & Shipping: For simplicity's sake, let's just make ALL SHIPMENTS POSTPAID unless otherwise noted.
For special circumstances (Registered Mail, insurance, overseas, extra large shipments, etc.), a modest contribution is appreciated.
PayPal is fine, but if you use it, PLEASE add your forum name to the payment so I'll know who you are and what you are buying!
Full return privilege if you are not 100% satisfied. My good reputation here is worth far more to me than dollars and cents, so by all means, if you're less than happy, speak up! The main thing I ask is that you notify me as soon as you can if there is a problem or concern of any kind, and I'll do my best to make it good.
Contact Info: Should I ever disappear from the forums and the computer for a week or so, as I sometimes do, and you need to reach me, feel free to call (912) 261-8408 and ask for Rob. Emailing me in the event of a forum absence won't help much- usually when I'm away, I'm away from the computer entirely.
I love to swap! Got an interesting trade offer? Don't be shy- step right up! As you can see here, I dabble in a little bit of everything.
Bullion Info: I've added a bullion chart from Kitco.com towards the bottom of this thread, should you need it for reference.
Archives: If you need to retrieve info on a coin you bought here, but it's no longer listed, do a search for "BST archive" on the Testing forum.

Australia: 7-coin proof set, 1985, original case.
KM-PS47; mintage 74,809. Seven coins: 1-, 2-, 5-, 10-, 20-, and 50-cent coins, plus kangaroo dollar. Original blue "leatherette" booklet-style case with snap closure. Some minor scuffiness to plastic but nothing major. Coins look great, with deep mirrors and DCAM contrast. I do not expect to get anywhere near the catalog price for this, of course. Just make a reasonable offer.
2013 KM catalog value = $65.00... MAKE OFFER!
Czechoslovakia: silver 100 Korun, 1977, PCGS PR66 DCAM.
KM88; .700 silver/.3376 oz. Low mintage and survival, top pop. Only 5,000 struck, many of which were withdrawn and melted in 1999.
$46.00.
Great Britain: silver sixpence of George V, 1911. PCGS MS63.

Great Britain: 8-coin proof set, 1970, last of the Sterling-standard coinage, original case and box.
KM-PS26; eight coins: halfpenny, penny, threepence, sixpence, "English"-reverse shilling, "Scottish"-reverse shilling, florin, halfcrown. By "Sterling standard", I mean that these were the final pounds-shillings-pence coins struck before decimalization on Februrary 15, 1971. (Not Sterling silver- that went out of the coins many years earlier.) Nicely mirrored set in original case with rectangular mint medal, purple outer box, and original paperwork. Boy, the book values sure skyrocketed on these! No worries, though- I don't expect anywhere near the catalog value. Just make what you think is a fair offer.
2013 KM catalog value = $70.00... MAKE OFFER!

Numismatic (World & Ancient coin) books for sale.
Was offering these for sale as one lot, but no takers. I will now break the lot up and offer these at the minimum Amazon used book prices shown, but I will have to ask you to pay shipping and handling charges if books are sold individually.
See link for price and description thread.
Fossilized prehistoric shark teeth from Saint Simons Sound, Georgia... fresh from the find sites!
Only a few of the larger C. Megalodon teeth (as seen in sample picture) are available at any given time, but I have thousands of shark teeth of widely assorted sizes and species, all of which were found by me and my local fossil friends. One of my dig buddies brings his finds to me every weekend or two, so I don't have individual images or prices, but I can put together a nice assortment of tagged, identified pieces for you or that special young'un in your life!
Inquire via PM about custom assortments or availability of larger individual fossils.
Decent-sized preserved desert scorpion in vintage Lucite/acrylic paperweight.
Looks better than the images. About 3.5" in diameter, with tan-colored felt base. Sand inclusion at base of mold for a "diorama" effect. Neat paperweight. I recently got some resin and attempted making casting some fossils and flowers and stuff, and they didn't turn out anywhere near as nice as this. I guess that will take some practice.
$15.00.

Prices reduced a little.
Counteroffers or trades considered. Anyone?
Bump for the 24th.

It's not exactly "new", but then again, every day is a new day, right?
And this is my bumperoo for the day.
As I said when I was offering those here, I looked forward to seeing those in the hands of somebody who could photograph them properly and capture the toning on that 1909 plain Lincoln.

Split off the pair of earlier Seated dimes into individual lots, added some (lousy) pictures of the Bust half, added the recently-purchased 1917 SLQ and Rhode Island commemorative half, which aren't in hand yet but might be in the mailbox today or tomorrow.

I've added a pair of Darkside slabs including a sweet little Swiss beauty.
I added many new inexpensive coins- and so much blather that I actually hit the max number of characters allowed in a thread! That's only happened once or twice before that I can recall. I've had to break the offerings up into two posts. Fortunately there was an old second post below the first that I was able to edit and put the latter half into.
Here's my 3/14 TTT.
I may not bump this tomorrow if my love tokens are ready to sell, as they'll warrant a thread of their own. Then again, it might be Wednesday or Thursday before I'm ready to list them all.
Beware the Ides of March!
The love token list I mentioned yesterday is almost ready.
