Very interesting, thanks for the link. I know almost nothing about Roman Republican coins, so I look forward to browsing through the British...
Wow, there certainly is alot of info associated with that coin. Interesting stuff. Be sure to keep us posted on any new aquisitions.
Heh, yes, I have always liked that mintmark. It surely is a fine country, I've never been, but alot of my family has. Thanks for the info on the...
Yeah, I was fairly certain that they were modern marks, and the marks were not what drew me to the coin, nor did they influence the price I was...
Hm, wish I had more info, I know the pre 1900 danish coins, especially nice copper ones, in high grade usually sell pretty well. But I thought the...
Well I appreciate everyone's help, and comments. Part of why I like collecting ancient coins, is due to the fact that you can have such variety...

Well I did it. With no harm done to the coin or myself.... the slab however is a different story.... but I saved the paper with the information...

That's a good point, I hadn't even considered that the coin's thickness could have helped to cause the crack. It was not cracked at first, but...
I was kinda leaning toward taking it out. It would be a bit of a hassle to send it back, and I don't even know how that whole process would work,...
Well, I have been thinking for quite some time now on this one. The coin is beautiful, and the slab has a crack on the front that obscures the...
It's a Bobcat....I took the shot at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum.... the fullsize shots are in my Wildlife album. I think I'm going to change...
I like the edge lettering on the earlier style.
