I can see where you are comnig from. However, is there an Antioch billon tetradrachm of Caracalla which depicts an eagle with a wreath in its...
The first one looks to me to be a billon tetradrachm of the Roman Emperor Vespasian and from Antioch mint (eagle to left standing on a club). The...
That site belongs to Vern McRea, one of the people I had intended asking about your jeton. Note that the image shown is a variant of your one...
Values of jetons vary tremendously dependent upon a number of different factors. Although my main collecting focus is `jetons', Nurenberg...
It's definitely a Lauer (Nurenberg) reckoning `jeton'. From the data provided I suspect that it was manufactured for one of the kings...
That has encouraged me to look at my Indain coin collection again..... :) Here's an 1877 half anna (B/II) [IMG] Aidan.....here's an example I...
The US coin buying market is strong and where there is strong demand for a particular coin type you will see big bucks chasing after a coin that...
which is it...raised....or incused? The incused usually shows up as if it had been drawn on in black ink. The coin should weigh in at 11.66 gms...

Here's a turn up for the books. This coin was sold to me as a contemporary fake of a Lubeck gulden of 32 schillings. It weighed in at the proper...
You mention that it was discovered 14 years ago. Out of interest can you tell me where and in what circumstances?
Agreed. One side is mildly reminiscent of the Hungarian `Madonna and Child' design but that's about it. I'm fairly certain that the item has been...
Well, we know what it isn't........it isn't a genuine 10 francs. I'd also be very surprised if your one was silver either. More likely some kind...
Hmmm. The `ease' thing is terribly relative to your expertise (or lack of in the case of many collectors). Yes, i'd agree that it is relatively...
Here's a contemporary fake of a Vickie Indian silver Rupee, complete with incused `c' mint mark for Calcutta mint. The silvering on it is nigh on...
That spacing pretty much does give it away doesn't it?....... :) The `workmanship' is much more noticeable with a x10 loupe but to the naked eye...
Here's one for our US cent /`penny' collectors. It looks to the eye as being a 1914D cent. Inspection with an eyeglass however will reveal to the...
