I picked this up along with a group of assorted world tokens. Not sure what to make of it - it is uniface, flower shaped (scalloped with 8-sides),...
This style of shell cards was popular in France from just after 1871 (the Franco Prussian war) to just after ww2 (when the Code Napoleon &...
I'm not sure what the host coin for this counterstamp is - it's about 24mm in diameter and a very thick planchet (US cent shown for comparison)....
I'm still almost totally lost about Roman denominations. Is a Nummus the same as a Follis? Is there a weight or diameter difference?...
Awesome! Thanks for the help!
Could use some help ID'ing this piece. Seller had it labelled as a Maxiamanus Nummus, but I'm not sure how to ID the mint or narrow down the year...

I'm not an advanced CWT collector, by any means. I have less than 30, but have decided to try and buy unusual ones / ones that have meaning to me....
What a story! Is the collection (or parts of it) available for viewing today?
I picked this up recently. Any idea why so many of the Broas Bros dies ended up clashed, shattered, and kept being used? Was the manufacturer...
Sure, but not with much quality: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Is there a particular area worth a closer look with my endoscope?
The Cherry Picker Guide has a less than helpful diagnostic for this coin. Despite arrows to areas to check, I only see a telltale doubling at the...
