Sicily, Syracuse. Dionysios I (The Tyrant) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] AR Dekadrachm (36mm, 40.89 g, 7h). Reverse Signed by Euainetos. Struck circa...
Thanks John. Totally agree with you Germany isn't making the quality of coinage they used to
You're quite right. Glad you found something of interest to you in the entire post!!!
Lovely coins. Is that 1744 Augsburg a Proof or PL issue?
5. GB 1994 Double Sovereign (2 Pounds) Mule 300th Anniversary of the Bank of England issue. This has the ‘wrong’ obverse portrait due to an error...
Despite the difficulties in 2020, I did add a few coins to my collection. Some of these I would love to retain but some have shown unexpectedly...
And BTW prices have declined almost 20% over the last 3 years as people cash in their coins

Actually the Hadrian aureus was graded Fine Style by NGC
Hell NO Joe. The grading exercise is just to preserve the coin and a personal learning process. I recall you telling me what to look out for in...
Looks like the 1 and 8 have been struck twice. Makes it even more rare. I've been concentrating on unusual coins, overstrikes etc. lately.
Recently acquired this AU but harshly cleaned half sovereign. They are not cheap but are rated R6 with only 10-15 known examples and I've not seen...
