Ala al-Din Muhammad (Alauddin Khilji), born Ali Gurshasp, was the most powerful and IMHO the most inaccurately portrayed rulers of the Khilji...
@stevereecy and @Zonker this a 450th Anniversary issue (2008) with both the Elizabeths and quite a popular quintuple sovereign which you might...
Wow some really heavy pieces of bronze posted here. Unfortunately, I don't own many bronze issues so my heaviest 'Ptolemy' would be this Cleopatra...
Here is my QE II, young laureate head (first bust) sovereign. Top pop across all grading companies to date (I think): [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I don't think you'll have to worry about that :D Sold this 5 pound coin within 6 months of buying the set for the price I paid for the full set....
Actually they don't look the same. Many of the half sovereigns in the early years (1817 through to many years of Victorian half sovereigns) had a...
Though not an active collector of silver coins (I prefer gold), I did get a couple of well-worn examples of very scarce crowns recently: 1723 SSC...

I agree. Moreover, I don't have the time to sell anything before the auction date. BUT if I did win, I would find it easier to settle if I sold...
I'm sure many CT members are tracking the third coin on this post, as am I. Unfortunately, during these lean times, I would have to let go of at...

I'm fairly active on Heritage and they have this rather cool MOTO (Make Offer To Owner) option where anyone can make an anonymous offer to an...
