Thanks guys - I hadn’t stumbled upon this one before
Looks good to me @seth77! What reference is ‘Boudeau’ by chance? I’ll pile on with another ugly Norman: [ATTACH] Feudal France - Normandy...
Why would you take acid to it if it were a bronze coin? The value of it being 800+ years old outweighs the small amount of bullion to be found in...
Nice! Good score!
I’ll echo what others have said - I’ve only bought from them once, but no problem getting the coins, just a long wait for the export license
Nice little extra in your lot! I have been trying to track one of these down for a reasonable price (I either get outbid, or they show up at...

Gotta keep this going! I’ve always liked this coin, as it copies the English short cross coinage. So many of these found their way into Her,any...
As promised: [ATTACH] Imperial Rome Plautilla, r. 202-205 A.D. (202 A.D.) Rome Mint, AR Denarius, 18.82 mm x 3.15 grams Obv.: PLAVTILLAE AVGVSTAE....
