Heh, no - it wasn't. I was interstate yesterday. Hard to post images of your coins while traveling. Anywho, here they are. The Sovereign and 10...
Nice coins! I love how they're essentially uncirculated, at bullion price. I'll have to share my King George V, Wilhelmina I, & Napoleon III...
Shhh, don't tell anyone! This is only possible because demand is low.
Please don't complain about this. I love that I can by a gold coin from 100+ years old, and essentially pay bullion for it :happy:
I'm no expert in Spanish cobs, but I do have an interest. I see no red flags on your cob, but it's often difficult to tell, particularly for the...
Thanks for the welcome guys! :D Yes, only 59 posts. I read more than I post. But in any event, I'm looking forward to getting to know you all better
:arghh: P.S. - I'm happy to settle for more complete than hers ;)

I've been following this thread with much enjoyment. A big thank you to everyone! :) I think in fairness to her, the Tetradrachm probably...

Hi all Not posting a coin here (sorry), just asking some questions on what the "general consensus" is (if one exists that is) regarding the...
Yes, I think I'll go for a Tet or a Drachme for my first purchase. I intend to split and expand my "ancients" collection into Roman and Greek...
Sure, but there's not really all that much to it. I'm a simple man, Severus. My favourite era of coins is the age of sail and discovery. I've...
Thanks for posting! I love Seleucid. I intend to purchase my first in the not too distant future.
Thank you kind sir :) In terms of the Escudos and what I was looking for, my parameters were very broad. Essentially it had to be minted in the...
Well, I finally got it - my pre 1800 milled Spanish 8 Escudos. It ended up being a 1790 DA, Santiago. 26,99g. Frbg.19 I've been saving for over...
Indeed, it's a funny situation when $29 is a splurge :) Thank you for your kind words about this old worn coin ;) But yes, I agree - the upside...
