These are a nice variety for a start. I will look forward to what next year will bring. Of the group, I have to favor Santa Claus. He is such a...
This shouts fake. No Athenian tet weighs that little and I believe I have seen the style before. I am not sure about the others.
I see the coin as nice now so would suggest the 'First do no harm' approach. Dry brushing with soft tools (toothpick, tooth brush) might help but...
I agree this is an interesting type from a ruler we do not see every day. My education was advance to include this ruler's name and the fact that...

My first impression of the Vatican Nilus is that it is too busy and would be better without the 'children'. Your explanation linking them to the...

As I see it the letters add interest. I voted for #10.
I don't believe anyone has posted a coin from Antioch by Pescennius Niger. He gets no respect as a usurper. He was defeated by Septimius Severus...
I might suggest if your bread dough looks like this, you need a bit more water and kneading. Properly hydrated dough dropped on the floor with...
I wish I knew. I am not even convinced that all mints and all periods in the hundred years the coins were silvered did it the same way. There is...
The pre-reform coin of Aurelian is quite good, maybe too good for what I wanted to show when I bought mine. Aurelian's reform was driven by his...
