Not much time for hobbies, working dawn to dusk! But I got 6 new additions from Stack's ANA August Auction. Five are World Gold/ but # 6 could be called Ancient... Papal States AV Fiorino Romano 3.52g. 23mm. ND (struck 1350-1439AD) Rome Mint Roman Senate MS-66 finest known obverse: ROMA CAPTVT MVDI SPOR Christ standing/ facing raising hand in benediction/ holding gospels reverse: S. PETRVS SEN ATDR VRBIS Saint Peter presenting banner to kneeling senator These coins were struck at a time when the Popes resided in Avignon/ France.
What year does NGC use to decide whether it goes to the Ancients department or World Coins department
The TPG services usually grade everything from 650BC to end of Byzantine Empire as ancient coinage. But I have seen medieval coins from 1000AD graded under world section.I think this one was in the "world coin dept." since for ancients they go by MS 5/5 strike 5/5 surface John
You sure that's Jesus? Looks more like a Jaffa Serpent Guard from Stargate to me. And the reverse ...Stargate anyone? Clearly Jesus used a Stargate. Someone contact the History Channel, I think we just found our next episode of Ancient Aliens.
