What I realize with ancients thus far is that the selection of designs is almost infinite. Unlike the very structured Taler set, this quest is...
I had an opportunity to upgrade my "Owl" selecting from a handful of choice pieces. Unlike modern coinage, ancients are all about trade-offs - eye...
Ran across these images of older Taler purchases and thought I would re-share. This is Mozart's patron, Hieronymus von Colloredo (1772–1812)....
These are very much my core collection given the history and design yet I seldom see any posts with Talers... any thoughts why? A sampling from my...
I gave up on the piece I was chasing as price went too high, and ended up pursuing the ones on my list which I felt were reasonably priced. The...
Bought this on last night's Heritage auction as another Seleucid piece. While I didn't see this one in hand, it seems to have the iridescent eye...

Picked this one up. Like the design in particular the reverse. Still working on the Sicilian pickup images which I will share separately....

Another Seleucid Kingdom Tetradrachm. A touch inferior to the Antiochus IX I recently posted. Superbly struck and centered with very fine artistic...
Just arrived today and is definitely one of the more appealing coins I own - large flan, super strike, sharp details, clean surface and near...
The more I look at the variety of coins, designs and artistic dies, the clearer it has become to me how values are placed relative to technical...
Not my typical are of focus in 19th century material, yet these conditionally scarce and floated on Ebay over the holiday weekend. PCGS images....

I saw this one floating on ebay and bought it at what I believed to be a very fair price for a choice piece. Hopefully I find one with nicer style...
Found this podcast providing context to the impact of the 30 year war on the Imperial City of Augsburg....
