Nice video. An interesting part of history! The VICTORIAE BRIT ones (featuring Victory) aren't expensive - under $100 (obviously depending on...
Here's my Constantius II camp gate. I won't try to grade it! (It doesn't really matter in the age of high res photos on the internet). [ATTACH]...
Well, yes, I do collect Saxon coins in theory... I have a Burgred and an Eadmund, which are some of the more common (i.e. cheaper) 'entry level'...
It's when you get near the bottom of the list and think...that Harthacnut's quite reasonable, only £3,000-5,000...and have to slap yourself...
I'm not sure I'd even call yours troubled. I prefer coins to be a little worn, otherwise they weren't even used. Where's the history in a pristine...

Georgian London was an exciting place to be. The enlightenment was in full swing. There was a coffee shop on every street full of political...
I think it's a ½ Maravedí of Ferdinand II and Isabella, 1474(-1504), Burgos Mint, Spain (mintmark B), Calico ed 1994 T201 N392....

This appears to be the same, but the seller doesn't really give much description:...

I don’t normally care for colourful toning, but that looks good. Although gold can tone I imagine those colours are from the .125 alloy.
It's a debatable point, since there doesn't appear to be enough evidence either way. The mint is uncertain, who is depicted is uncertain and it's...
As another CNG Electronic Auction passed, it was not hard to notice that most lots went for more than their estimates. In many cases a lot more....
Great, thank you very much!
Incandescent light bulbs have been banned in many (most?) places, so this might be tricky to replicate...
Yes they are. Some of the other series are cheaper though. Primary Series (A to F) are often less than £200 for very nice coins. Other Secondary...
Very nice coin. (Here's the link to it: https://emc.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/full-record/20200203?&0=20200203). Some similar (but not as good) coins...
