That is a beautiful portrait. Not only are they small but they're thin and get beaten up very easily. It took me a while to get any where she...
Very nice. These are difficult to get in good condition and some months are harder to get than others. I got this half crown for a fair bit more...
I can add a few good: Spink Dix Noonan Webb Chris Rudd Davissons Stephen Album These seem good but I haven't used them much: HD Rauch Leu Noble...
I recently added a couple of James I ‘Haringtons’ to my unplanned but growing collection of Stuart-era farthings. These little copper coins lack...
I think it's real. 16-17mm? Medal alignment? I doubt it's a modern copy anyway, as it's a common type and inexpensive even in much better...
He definitely looks better on his coins than his statues! With coins from the London mint, I don't think he's the most expensive for large folles...
Very interesting. I only have one brockage and I wondered what the people using it at the time thought of it. Clearly, they spent it many times...
Very interesting. I have one of Diocletian's retirement issue: Diocletian AE1, 305-307 [ATTACH] London. Bronze, 27mm, 10.51g. D N DIOCLETIANO...
Nice write up. My only coins from this period are from the Angles and Saxons. It was such a turbulent time in Britain that records are almost...
That is a beautiful coin and an interesting type. This one isn't particularly interesting, other than it travelled from Milan to Somerset in as...
Yes that has happened to me a few times. I used to bid low on later lots to remind me to bid on them if I won my target coin, so as to 'share' the...
Very nice. As far as common coins go, I rather like Maximian's. They're often well struck with interesting, eye-catching portraits. Maximian I...
I think it's been clipped - as many hammered coins were. Madonna once had a crown and it would've originally had legends, more like this...
Yes they are English pennies, but you'll need to look very carefully at the details to ID them. The penny hardly changed all the way from Saxon...
I don't know about food, but I can give you a little wine to go with all that crab. And when I say a little, the cup is less than 7mm tall....
I have a feeling it's a fals of Badr al-Din Lu'lu', issued under Mongol rule. Not unlike this one (Album 1876):...
I recently received a couple of choice Mongol dangs, which aren’t insults but coins from the Golden Horde. Little is said in ‘the West’ of this...
Very interesting coins. That hoard seems to have produced some great stuff (out of 22,670!). I have a couple, covering "the Urbs Roma...
Nice coins. I don't have many with the ruler and their relative on them. Emperors like Constantine I and Septimius Severus struck coins of their...
Very nice coins. There always seems to be a deeper story even when you don't expect it. I don't have any from Smyra or with Virtus, but I do have...
