NeoSpec Valued Member Canada 192 Posts	Posted 08/05/2016 02:18 am In the past couple months as I learn more about NCLT, I've seen many things that I would have never imagined (i.e. the popular Lady Bug done with art glass). I've left the subject somewhat general in case anybody wants to toss-in links or stories they want to share. For today the 'extreme NCLT' coin I would like to share is, quite literally, otherworldly... (Now it's got me wondering if anyone ever made a Mt. St. Helens ash-coin...) http://www.choicebullion.com/2015-c...-silver-coin What makes NCLT extreme? I guess for me it's a lose category, but in general if you had two or more of the coin in question in your pocket, would it be like having coins in your pocket or would it not? i.e. even 'high relief' coins are extreme, in that they're ludicrously impractical as coinage... So, do you have or know of extreme NCLT? If so, please share :) Report this Post to the Staff

NeoSpec Valued Member Canada 192 Posts	Posted 08/05/2016 03:35 am Bart, that strikes an interesting parallel to modern numismatics, I'd say , in that the objects, then and now, have marginal value (in some practical ways, you could even say a negative value, the "cost of ownership") aside that ascribed them by their owners (or prospective owners). Fascinating. Report this Post to the Staff

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 08/05/2016 1:04 pm A coin doesn't even have to be NCLT to be ludicrous in your pocket. Think Swedish plate money. Back when money was actually supposed to be worth something close to melt value, the (occasional) sheer disparity in value between copper and silver made for some really large or small pieces, depending on where one put the boundary. Some cultures decided to go for large copper, some for small silver. Report this Post to the Staff
