It looks like you just took that one image off of that website. Are you saying that you have an identical coin or bought that one off of him or...
Unfortunately this coin is in very poor condition (enough where I could probably throw it in the other ugly thread), but I think enough of the...
I'd be pretty wary about cleaning it, as you can easily damage a coin if you are too harsh, particularly if it was British found (I learned the...
Yeah, I'm surprised that it's so aesthetically pleasing with that amount of wear!
Honestly, my scanner's always worked well enough that I never had to mess with it, so I don't have much to offer. You could try playing with the...
Thanks a lot! Now I know not to trust this guy's attributions at all. That said, I still like the coin.

Interesting idea, but my father is a die hard Republican, so the Kennedy idea is unlikely. I mentioned the seal the other night to him, and he's...
Ardatirion, that is indeed a very nice portrait on that Postumus there. Congratulations on that. That solidus is also beautiful, and I agree...

While it's been over a thousand years since it circulated, my most valuable coin is this double sestertius of the Gallic emperor Postumus that...
Thanks guys! I'll let him know that he wasn't crazy.
My father has saved this $5 bill for quite a while because there was something special about it. Unfortunately, he has completely forgotten what...
I'm under 25, and I think your Liberty Nickel is the most aesthetically pleasing.
I grabbed this on eBay a while back for $20 or so, and I've been a little worried about the authenticity about it, since the seller didn't...
So I stopped by the flea market the other day, and I found this coin for $5. I thought it was rather nifty looking, so I snatched it up. The...
I actually keep all my coins, ancient or not, in PVC free flips. I like to be able to easily take my coins out and look at them unobstructed, and...
Fabric basically refers to the details of the coin aside from the design (see here for more details). Alexandrian tetradrachms from that era have...
I've used both of them before, but thanks anyway.
