@LesCoinsUK Ah well, maybe it will sit there for ten years and then I'll find a book on all the varieties which will have a picture of mine and a three page explanation, who knows!

@LesCoinsUK Yes there seem to be a few variants. Most of the ones on Numista are listed as copper with a few silver and one brass. Mine is definitely a yellow metal, brass or bronze

@LesCoinsUK Hey now that I've written up the post on the coin, and just working on the newsletter.... Do you have ANY information about the design on the coin? Numista, NGC, etc have nothing - except a couple of notes on specific variants, but nothing on the overall design?

An interesting pieces in this week's E-Sylum about how ancient Roman lead pollution can be tied to coins: coinbooks.org/v28/esylum_v28… - It is (or was) terrible for the Romans, but fascinating to see how things like this can be traced back. #Numismatics #News #Rome #History

Bismuth is one of my favourite metals. I wrote about it last year: coinofnote.com/1oz-bismuth-in… If you enjoyed that & a little science, you may like this video by The Action Lab on the strange #magnetism of #Bismuth: youtube.com/watch?v=g-77Ec… He does a lot of great #science videos.

This is an ad & you could make one cheaper, but I do like the idea - imagine a penny set, each with a picture of something from that year. Have you ever done or seen anything similar? #SaturdayNightCoinShow #Numismatics #CoinCollecting #History

@CacheCoins It is! They come in all shapes and values - I meant to add a photo of a few of them though I couldn't find a lot about the various values or prices though, which is why I didn't say a lot about it in the post (which meant it ended up being more about the ferries than the tokens!)

I need to work on the next newsletter soon, but first, a reminder about this fortnight's #MysteryCoin - it is a small round silver-coloured coin with "50" in a striped square, CENTAVOS below & "50" in small braille dots below that. Where / when might it be from? #Numismatics

@TheRifleman11 @Arrowheadbroken Thank you - I added a little bit to the bottom of my post on this coin with links to those references (I couldn't find the specific video but money.org has a lot of resources for people in any case) - and a credit to you for them :) coinofnote.com/1857-usa-cent/
