Wow. Having just finished reading my first post on your account, @bdmillergallery, that was quite the discovery!
"It’s not your typical store, more like a treasure chest that’s always shifting its loot. I’d swing by once or twice a month, and somehow, I never saw the same things twice.'
It sounds well earned, though, since it appears you have systematically been stopping in there, for the potential of just such a finding coming to life. Very good! 👍
I love your attention to detail:
"I went down a total rabbit hole researching this stuff. The more I learned, the more fascinated I got."
"Turns out, chop marks are these small impressions left by merchants or bankers to verify a coin’s authenticity."
It takes effort, but what a great ROI on making it!
Of this:
"This 1804 8 Reales isn’t just another coin .. It’s a storyteller. Despite all the wear, you can still see the craftsmanship in its design, and those chop marks? They’re like a roadmap of its wild journey."
There can be no question. Indeed, a storyteller. Thanks for sharing the story of your good fortune in finding this treasure!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to read my post and share such thoughtful words. There’s definitely something special about the thrill of the hunt .. Whether it’s for art, collectibles, or those unexpected treasures that seem to reveal themselves at just the right moment.
I’m glad you enjoyed the story! The details are often what make the journey worthwhile, and sharing them with others who appreciate them makes it even better. Looking forward to more great discoveries ahead.
Thanks again for your kind support!
