    Tanks for the answers. And Aethelric?

    I think one of our newer members is a mason. Maybe he'll be kind enough to add something to this thread.

    What does "Aethel" mean? I wouldn't call this coin very well-struck but you imply it's not a bad strike. Why does it seem like part of the design has been flattened or beaten? It's almost as if the king is sinking and only parts of his face are showing above the surface.

    I just noticed how the top of the "2" in the date curls under itself. I didn't know it was such a large/sharp curl!

    You know, I've walked buy our machine a few times and I can't find a reject bin at all. Do some machines not have one accessible to the public?

    A wedding!

    That is the strongest, straightest cross I've seen on these coins. Excellent! I like the flower (a rose?)

    Mortyr, what a nice coin. What is the building on the obverse?

    What a great strike and such brilliant luster, WCG!

    That coin was 250 years old at the Battle of Hastings!! Clive, what is the significance of the pellet?

    Awesome note, Dave!

    Great picture!

    Trade it for a penny!

    You've got quite the range of patinas on those swell coins!

    Boy, I didn't now about that semi-key dime! I know any coin that Tommy posts is $$$ so that's how I verified it's collectable status. I love that series and wish I could find coins like that at stores/shows.

    So, what was the American Banknote Company?
  18. thedeadpoint
    Yeah, I'm amazed by that too. Something about this thread attracts googlebots I bet. I can't think of why though. It must be great publicity for your website.

    See! I miss your super repeaters!

    Oh, cool! I didn't know Singapore was once known as the Straits Settlement
  21. thedeadpoint
    Great coins, guys. What is the Straits Settlement? I know I could use wikipedia, but I think other members would like to see an answer here
  22. thedeadpoint
    Seems a lot earlier date for a shooting medal and its not from Switzerland. Neat!

    Excellent observation, Schutz! I look forward to more stories and images and maybe a few examples for my own collection
