Taking me down a trip of memory lane. This song was played over and over again in my dorm, freshman year, 1970. [MEDIA]
Today marks the start of a new administration. In the middle of a raging pandemic and economic hardships, this is a time for hope of a better...
That's a nice example of a sand patina.
Nice coin! Mineralogically speaking the blue is very likely azurite (Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2), a cousin of malachite (Cu2CO3(OH)2).
I see the problem. If it is PVC damage, try soaking the coin in a 100% acetone bath. The acetone will not damage the coin, and it will dissolve...
Here's an AE as of Faustina Senior, AETERNITAS reverse, with Faustina personified as the goddess of eternity, sitting on a globe. 10.92 grams...
Hope this fits the bill. [ATTACH] Next: Let's keep Alegandron's challenge theme, Mercury.
Quantity versus quality is an individual preference, pretty much bound by budget, interests, and, in my case, the amount of oxygen my brain cells...
Thanks I have quite a few Flavians, in addition to other Roman dynasties and lines (Claudian, Adoptive, Severan, etc.), but I usually rely on the...
I checked Wildwinds, and you're right. It is a bit confusing that HB would call the coin they posted a RIC 1168, unless this is the new RIC # for...

Thank you all for the help attributing this coin to a RIC #. I don't see a ball or large dot at the base of the neck on my coin, so although...
Thanks! Please see my last post.
On Wildwinds I did find a COS III type legend, listed as RIC 322, Cohen 480. The eagle's neck and body seems wider, compared to the coin I...
Thanks With my trusty Swiss Army knife magnifying glass, the legend appears to end ...COS III. Does that correspond with a RIC #? Clearly I...
Here's a recent arrival, an AE as of Vespasian, with an eagle on a globe for the reverse. My question is whether this coin was minted in Rome or...
That a wonderful book, in remarkable condition for its age. Here are a couple of coins with a nautical theme: Phoenicia, Bybos, shekel, 435-425...
Here are four more examples, although I guess one could argue that the first one might have been partially cleaned and is re-toning. Coin #4 has...
Very nice coins and an auspicious start to 2021 for you. This is the most recent example of a coin with a "find" patina. In reality most coins...
Congratulations! Very nice style and centering.
