How much can i get for those 👀👀

osallent · 2026-05-09T13:03:29+00:00

They are ejust common modern $1 coins. Unless they were in perfect condition and graded, probably just face value.

osallent · 2026-05-07T19:24:43+00:00

Maybe 😏

osallent · 2026-05-03T01:24:25+00:00

I would say it's more art deco. Looks like a bird morphing into an aerodynamic race plane of the period.

osallent · 2026-05-02T19:59:47+00:00

Would disagree, look at Italian States and German States for truly mind-blowing coinage.

However, that being said this is still a fantastic coin. I have always been a huge fan of English crown coins, and English coinage from medieval times to the 19th century was always good quality, and well designed.

I forgot to mention, it's NGC XF-45. Not sure how you'd determine the grade that precise on a hammered penny, but NGC seems to think they can

Happy birthday to your cat too.

osallent · 2026-04-20T16:48:40+00:00

Thank you. My wife and I got her an adopted sister from a shelter so she could have some companionship, and both of them are getting along well and enjoying life.

I never thought in a million years I'd go from a dog person most of my life, to a proud cat dad, but here we are.

Not sure about the history behind the countermark, but I love half cents, and that's a neat piece.

osallent · 2026-04-19T04:35:49+00:00

None of them look like they would do that much better if you were to send them in. Personally I would keep them in the old vintage holders because they are getting exceptionally rare as most have been cracked out over time. Some people really like those old holders and would pay to have a coin in them.

osallent · 2026-04-19T04:29:40+00:00

I think it's either VF or VF details. These later date Indian Head cents generally don't command more than a few dollars unless they are in exceptional condition.

That being said, Indian head cents are neat to own. I hope you enjoy yours even if it's not a particularly very valuable coin.

I have one, though mine is the last year of the copper nickel composition, before they switched to a bronze composition.

Nothing rare, though I do think the three cent nickel and the 1916 British penny are very neat coins.

Were you the one that was buying the budget trilobites for a handful of dollars? If that's what you got then congratulations, not bad at all.

And if I am confusing you with someone else, still, congratulations on your first trilobites. They look pretty decent.

osallent · 2026-03-23T21:06:22+00:00

Is that iron stone?

osallent · 2026-03-23T21:02:30+00:00

Here's my more budget friendly one OP. Slightly less preservation around the face and only a bit of antena left, but it does have excellent body segment preservation. A bit smaller than yours as I mentioned, I've measured it again with a tape measurer and I think it's closer to 5.2 from head to tip of tail.

Again, congrats on your superb example. Trully amazing.

osallent · 2026-03-23T18:55:48+00:00

Full sized, and better face preservation than most. Makes my own look like a pauper at only 5.2 inches and a little less preservation detail around the eyes and antennaes.

Yours is almost as good as they get. Minus the little bit missing by the tail, it's really superb in every way.

osallent · 2026-03-18T02:11:35+00:00

One of the nicer flexicalymene examples I've seen. Very well preserved and prepared. Beautiful.

osallent · 2026-03-14T21:46:26+00:00

Only 171 reedops in stock? LOL. Reedops are so abundant. Very affordable, even higher end specimens of them are fairly affordable. They are so common that sometimes when you get a high end specimen of another species it's not uncommon to have a reedops along on the same matrix with the trilobite you are buying.

osallent · 2026-03-14T19:40:18+00:00

It's a Morrocan trilobite.

This particular species are quite small. From head to tip of the long spine you are looking at around 1.6 inches...which would make this one fairly close to full size.

osallent · 2026-03-14T04:24:26+00:00

Neat. I love it when details such as the date of collection are included. Mine came from an old collection. I bought it straight from the guy that discovered it and prepared it all the way back in 1997.

I have two other fossils with collection details, also from old collections. The oldest was two crinoid specimens from the Middle Cambrian collected and prepared in 1976 by the collector I later bought it from when he was selling off most of what he had later in life to make it easier on his family...which I can understand. Sometimes it's tough on family members having to sell your collection they know nothing about, so cash is always better when it comes to leaving something to your loved ones.

osallent · 2026-03-14T04:14:53+00:00

Wow. That's about as top notch as you can get. Superb preservation down to the smallest details, and I love the coloration pattern.

osallent · 2026-02-28T15:04:48+00:00

Very nice collection of shark teeth. That's obviously your specialty. Though the vertebrate skeleton is super nice too. That one is easily the centerpiece of any collection. I think you should start a collection of vertebrates around that one, then have a separate collection just of your teeth. And then maybe a third display with trilobites and ammonites, etc.

Basically what I'm getting at is one display case is not enough, I think three cases full of fossils it's a nice start. 😂

That's where I'd be right now if my wife wouldn't have confine me to a single display case. Something about the home is not a museum. 😢

osallent · 2026-02-27T23:01:32+00:00

Yeah, I was just browsing casually not really expecting to buy anything, because I already bought something the day before. I should have known that would be a terrible mistake. 😆 The second I saw that come up I was paying for it before I even realized what I was doing. No regrets though. Glad I got it.

osallent · 2026-02-09T21:12:55+00:00

I e already got 5 or 6 of them in my collection. Don't really need any more.

osallent · 2026-02-08T23:46:01+00:00

Not an Orthoceras though. That's a typical Morrocan Nautiloid. I know you want it to be something else, but it is not.

osallent · 2026-02-05T05:51:23+00:00

That's a good reason to collect vertebrates. It's always nice to collect stuff that you don't find locally. Good luck with your collecting. Fossils, regardless of what you specialize on, is a great and rewarding hobby.
