On the inside back cover of this month’s Penny-Wise. And where the heck is Chonquing?

    Never heard of that either, wow
    (Ya got a reverse pic?)

    Interesting it seems from the pic to be housed in a PCGS holder. I can’t seem to find a coin number for that issue.

    Also, no reverse, and no story as far as I can tell from leafing through the periodical.

    That coin is legal to make. Dan Carr told me. :D

    Like many things in life, the current 1794 NC (Non-Collectible) list goes to 11.

    It is an excellent joke on their part in my view, though would not be surprising if a similar "Head Left" could be found from China. Appears to be photoshopped from a real Sheldon-24 image.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.

    It looks great when viewing inna mirror. 😳

    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.
