Re: Best (and only) Wax Seals - Anyone else have some to post?
Stellar finds! I'd love to find one someday...but the sites I hunt aren't consistently old enough.
I think Crusader will have quite a collection to post... I hope we hear from him on this thread.

I have one that unfortunately is missing the nice part, the seal itself, but the holder is kind of neat.

"The mantra has always been don't clean a (copper) coin or it will lose value.
For undug coins this is true. For dug coins this is untrue.
The value will increase with judicious cleaning."

Amazingly (I think)..... all these were found in 2009. I got them all except the top Georgian one which Dad got. Definately my best year for these, with a nice early round type in top condition!

Re: Best (and only) Wax Seals - Anyone else have some to post?
So, looking at all these seals, I'm starting to think that's what this is. Originally I thought it was just a pendant - the bottom appears to be smooth, without design.
