Is that Jack Klugman?

...yup! they were the only 2 in the entire episode...:)

...i'm kinda like @KenDorney..i have many items most folks don't have...anybody else got a picture of Fats Brown (Jonathon Winters) hanging on their wall?.. Twilight Zone original 3rd season, '60-61(oops)A Game of Pool"...it was the only  time he played a serious dramatic role in his career.

..for a long time i was under the prejudice view that less expensive coins weren't forged ....but that was wrong and i would reckon we must assume that  a percentage of our own collections stand a good chance of being forged ..

always a thought in the collectors mind ..:)..i like to have enough evidence(and opinions) to convince myself that my fakes ain't fakes...><

 

a fake coin is a fake coin..but a Becker is collectors item....kool Ken...after learning about Becker it took me several years to get one...so i got 2. plus the books (parts one and two) by G F Hill ..it adds a lil character to ones collection i'd reckon.. 🙂

...i have this Magic Lantern from back in the days before batteries and electricity ....but of course the Douglass dreamed they owned one 2 in an episode when they traveled in the way back machine...^^

..purdy kool! :)..reminds me of trick coins....

very nice early denarius of Nero...a trophy indeed1 :)..i have two later denarii issues of Salus and Jupiter in my Nero section  

..i've been collecting so long that when i saw the name i had the portrait in my minds eye before seeing it....:)

i have one of each facing but not of captive reverse...

..purdy dang nice presi...:)and HB 2 ya belated as it is...

..kool Ryro!.....i got out a Pyyros bronze and one of my man-faced bull coins is a bronze from Campania with  left facing Apollo obverse (2nd pic bottom right)..:)...

..well, i saw it...it was awe inspiring .almost a religious experience.....i got the pic to proof it  ^^ still kinda dark here too....

I don't have any coins that I recall are believed to have been influenced by an eclipse (though I have a few from comets). However, we did head out to see the eclipse when it was visible in Oregon several years ago, and I took this photo.

My parents actually live in the path of totality, but the airfares were crazy to head back there. 

that's kool1...imma get one today! 🙂

..no going to Nova Scotia for me....i'll be right about in the center of the total eclipse this round.here in good ole Mo...and i still have my glasses from the partial eclipse in 2017 to reuse today at 1:55...plus Marc Anthony denarius featuring the house of the rising sun   

yeah they're worth something...:)

...well, i have several  good fakes(and some are collectible)...two by the master, Carl Becker 🙂

..very nice one!...one of the 'Good 5(6)'...

idk...they lQQk ok to me...from what i can see clearly.... i'm no expert...(but known to be quick to holler "fake!":P)

...a fine one melord! 🙂 i have one similar but more worn than yours

The veiled spec is the epitome of elegant coin design

i concur but it seems RC has the lot of them   ^^

..those can make one feel quite humble....:)

...not an unheard of thing ...i dumped my Greeks out on the table a few days ago....but i put them back  9_9...

..Hermanios Soter, Bactria 105=90BC ...most likely a  coin minted after his death  at a later date, around 40BC
