Got an email from a friend wondering what the heck those coins are above (his subject line was literally: “Fake dimes?!”), and after being stumped for a few minutes I did some sleuthing :) Turns out, these aren’t actually fake coins at all – they’re 100% authentic! And they even have a…

A Button Pretending to Be a Coin, and a Coin Pretending to Be a Pin!
Came across two items lately I couldn’t help but find interesting :) A button from a button jar I picked up at a yard sale over the weekend (great way to keep kids entertained for hours!) And a “love token” coin that was turned into a pin that I picked up at a friend’s antique…

Half a Penny For Your Thoughts?
Got this coin for Xmas and keep meaning to share it with you: A half a penny – hah! Crudely cut, and at least 160 years old as you can barely make out the “18” from”1800″ in the year mark before it got chopped off, haha… (These Braided Hair Large Cents were only made from…

Miss Stamped Penny On One Side?
Hey y’all! it’s been a while, eh? Still collecting over there? Get anything new or juicy lately? While I’ve been quite on the blog front here, I’ve definitely been anything but in the background.
