Neat quadriga reverse. And big!
Yes, neat. Cleopatra is on my “to do” list. I’ve never had a coin of hers.
If it isn’t, I have an even nicer one in the pipeline. It simply hasn’t been added to the Giveaway Gallery yet, as of this post, because I’m...
It so happens that I have a second gilt Lobau porcelain medal, which is of the same basic type as the one currently listed, only in white...
I’m still working on this request, Sal. I thought it was a good suggestion. This morning I was shopping 1917 Type 1 SLQs (just because Type 1s...
I made an offer on one on eBay this morning, but it was declined. If I remember correctly, I was offering only four or five bucks below the...
Just pray I don’t offer you a bait coin someday! See what can happen, if you’re not careful? ;)
I still walk in both worlds (and a good many others besides).
Wow. There are some really handsome coins in there. Even the “details” coins I saw had superior eye appeal! Definitely a cut above the typical...
In my first 12C set, I had an uglyish example but it was lifetime, from right before his assassination. I got it for under 500 bucks, which would...

Just be thankful you get a cake!
Those cheesy NuGrade slabs with the funny fonts always make me chuckle, and think of grape soda, for some reason. :hilarious: [IMG]
The focus setting on the camera, for one thing. ;) A 1939 cent is not plated. That's only a thing with post-1982 zinc cents.
Looks like they cross the $200 mark once you get up into MS60 and beyond. Below that, they're in the $100s. Per Numismedia: $173 in XF40, on up...
Nice find!
You were right- it's Persian, though of course the modern nation is called Iran.
I've never owned one, but I like both coins with the Charter Oak on 'em- both that classic commem and the modern State quarter.
Looks good to me, as well. If it did have an old cleaning (perhaps a light dip at worst), that was long ago, and in any event, I would consider...
@JoshuaP - as mentioned earlier, I do have a Byzantine coin in my giveaway inventory, though it is not a $50-ish piece as we are aiming for here....
