Thanks! Yeah I just need Galba now and I’ll have all four Emperors from the Year of the Four Emperors (Galba, Otho, Vitellius and Vespasian)....
I got Vitellius almost a week ago and so I was a bit dumbfounded that my Otho bid also managed to win. Otho is a really hard Emperor to get...
Anyone happen to have an example of the gold ones? xD
Thanks!! :) Sweet coin! Hmm apparently the Type 1 US Gold $1 coin was 12.8mm which is pretty close to 13mm so I expect it must be about the same...
Oh counterfeits are common I just don’t know if they are fourees lol [ATTACH]
Yeah that’s where I got a lot of my info. http://rg.ancients.info/lion/kroisos.html
Thanks Aussie! Glad you enjoyed the write up! :) I’ve actually been planning on writing about the Croesid since I first bought my Lydian 1/24,...
Yeah for sure! Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if they hadn’t chosen a gold & silver standard. For all we know the history of money...

Oh no I wasn’t referring to just this auction. I was referring to the fact that in general these 2021 Morgans & Peace Dollars sell for a lot more...
But Donna you don’t realize my post was referring to the experience most people would have if they went online and searched “coin dealers near...
Thats an opinion though ;). Someone else might say they think the new ones look much better than the originals. Apparently there is a huge...
Nah it’s fine I know you didn’t mean to cause any issues. The only one to blame is Herodotus for having a regular habit of coming to my threads...
Well I mean I live in the US so I thought it was pretty obvious that I was referring to American coin dealers. Its kind of like if someone asked...
Yeah I agree they are commemoratives. To be clear though this one is way overbid so getting 66+ common date Morgan for this coin might not be...
That’s true. I just wasn’t sure if maybe I was missing something. Like maybe there was something I didn’t see about these coins that makes them...
They aren’t bad coins. Like I said I got a full MS70 set for myself. Everyone has different tastes and preferences. These Morgans could get...
