Ancients => Photo-finish at the "wire"

I agree with you. There have been some comments / threads about adding in Medieval postings up until approx 1500 CE to the Ancients Forum. This is for exactly as you are pointing out: many coins minted during those times looked as though the processes and results were the same as Ancients.

Ahaha, lehmansterms ... thanks for your coincern

I think my example rocks, but just in case, I'll merely ask the folks at CNG ...

=> Hey, Ardy => did you guys sell me a total loser, or what?

 

One man's terrible is another man's awe-inspiring:

One man's total loser is another man's treasure.

Just to keep this coin related. I'll post a wire I find good enough.... or is it Godunov?

If you don't know the historical Boris, I suggest reading the above summary. He was an interesting guy if not exactly admirable. Yes, he was the prototype for the Bullwinkle baddie.

 

Are you talking about my coin? Those are the seller's pictures. I will try taking some myself shortly.

 

now I'm confused ... I thought lehmansterms was calling-out my new OP-coin?

 

I can add two German coins, but I'm lacking my attributions since I'm on my phone (playing 'separate the kitties' as they try to get used to one another, and 'separate the kitties' has turned into 'separate Fitz from computer with little to do')

 

Yes, in case there was some confusion I may have inadvertantly added to, I was referring to the Lithuanian coin in a mylar & cardboard "hugger", pictured on page 1 of the discussion, but it seems the subject swung rapidly into wire dengas and kopeks - perhaps due to the horse & rider theme.

 

Nice Bremen coin Steve
Here is my wire money from Russia
AV Denga ND
Tsar Ivan V Alexeyevich 1682-96
Most of my coins are from Germany, here is a AV Dukat ND Imperial City of Regensburg issued under Holy Roman Emperor Franz II

 

Nice Steve and others,
in those days money was worth its weight, so the change was cut off

 

Sadly it’s fantasy piece ….
