    Yep. It is.

    My first Shield nickel I got as a kid, back in ‘77, was an 1866 black-and-white CircCam. VG details. I scrimped and saved my allowance to get the six or seven bucks it cost me! :)

    This guy @Lem E seems to have a good eye for coins ;) and he pointed out that this coin may indeed fall into this category. I submit to you, a dime.

    A stone cold CircCam, on a type where one sees them less often.

    Gupta empire, Kumaragupta I, Garuda Type, AR Drachm, AD 414-455. These coins show the continuing Greek influence of Alexander The Great's conquests in this area hundreds of years earlier. 414-455 Gupta (16).jpg

    Hey, I'm American too, and I have learned to read a certain amount of Chinese (same same Japanese Kanji), Thai, Arabic, and a few other odd lingos. I now mainly collect ancient and medieval South Asian coins, and there is a whole world to learn there. Check out zeno.ru, amazing.
