Not the best day ever last week but a few quality finds. Awesome crotal bell. Fancy button with scroll work on back. Small bale seal. Be careful cleaning your finds though! My bell was intact and as I was cleaning out the center I was squeezing too hard and once the material came out I collapsed it.
Any idea on what these copper plates may be? First time I’ve gotten a consistent 39/40 reading on my Equinox 600. It had me very excited and then a little let down. Still cool though, I was thinking maybe they were photography related but that’s a total stab in the dark. Found in river mud. + iPhone
Anyone recognize this bottle? Old bottle dump from the 40’s or so on the side of an old country road. My bro told me him & his friends found it when they were like ten. They promptly smashed hundreds of bottles. I saw the wreckage some nice blue jars and some nice dairy bottles :( still plenty there
Does anyone know if there were fake 1983 Engelhard Prospectors? I know the 84’s were frequently faked. Bought a couple 83’s recently in a private sale. They look too good to me. Common counterfeit signs aren’t there. Don’t have a known example to compare to. Weight is good. Maybe I just got lucky...
Do the spots on this MS66 Libertad hurt its value? I have to imagine yes. Is something like that not part of the grading? Did it maybe occur after being put in the plastic? I know nothing about graded coins & wonder if I should avoid this one if it’s not much different in price than better examples?
