The seller of this 1894-O Morgan states that it has "virtually unnoticable initials" on the obverse. Would you post a link please. I'd like to see the reverse. |

Use the close up to look at the cheek...then notice the two "stars" to the left of the face.

Ouch--that 09-S VDB is tragic! But that '47 large cent turned washer needs archiving--it's not really a coin anymore.  |

Some coins just need a proper burial, like these: 171555985150   ...or they should have been left buried?  Edited by DVCollector

A prime candidate for "alchemizing", perhaps ? In case you don't know what that is, have a look at http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carausius-P...111529692470 and read the description. Almost all his items have been "alchemized", though strangely, not the billone ring or the sunglasses. I've no idea how that's done, perhaps dropped in solvent, polished lovingly with a proprietary polish, and left to dry with healing crystals. |

That Carausius listing is quite something, especially since Pax (Peace) is a female!
The coin looks like a typical well-worn Carausius antoninianus.
The seller's special approach to coins is not typical. I wonder if he submitted it to NGC if would come back with "Alchemized, Blessed" on the slab?

That's actually a really bad example. It was corroded, then harshly cleaned to bare metal. Not sure the value on that one. |

If you know the true value and history behind this serial number on this one dollar bill , it'll be well worth it.  Speak up man-- why is that nondescript bill worth $1000? Does that ser # carry a secret message? Edited by DVCollector
