Fake Canadian tokens linked to Mass. company

The Tudor Dynasty, Part 4, Queen Mary
This is a groat or 4 pence of Queen Mary. To be honest I didn't want to sink a fortune into this British monarch's coin because she is my least favorite of all the British leaders.

Re: Gold, interest rates and real estate: How will this unwind?

Re: Getting Cards Cut From Sheets
I'm with you on all of the rest of it except this part.

My First Finds
Well, I got my Ace 250 about 2 weeks ago, and have been out every chance I can get. Apart from less than $1 in clads (still trying to get the hang of it) I've found a few relics. First, behind my parent's house (which sits on top of the foundations of a house that dates back to the early-mid 1800's) I found this button…
