Great post, and a pleasure to read, Curtisimo! I have only two bronzes which refer to, or portray a statue of Jupiter: TRAJAN. 98-117 AD. Æ...
Save your pennies, TC. It an S-255 Rarity-1. Not bad looking, worth roughly $ 200. Broken right foot on all 'T's', and on 'Y' on the obverse....
You are absolutely right, my friend. The Lissner Collection contained so many scarce and historical coins. However, the special thing (for me) was...
I want one too!:) Great Addition!
This is a Reales piece dated 1855 from the small mint at Pasco in Peru. The Pasco mint was one of a few branch mints which operatd briefly besides...
This was my best haul of denarii: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
As I mentioned, the color appears a bit unusual to me too. I bought it at a coin shop in Dallas around 1989. I have no doubts it is legit. I will...
Thank you, jgenn, for posting those two beautiful 8 Reales of the Republica del Centro de America. A most beautiful type of this short-lived...
Interesting detail which I had never noticed, David. Your post caused me to check my Titus-Curule chair denarius. It appears to be of the adorned...

I no longer actively collect them, but appreciate the few I have: 1793 half cent C-3: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] 1794 half cent C-9: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

Lovely coin, Andrew! I do not have any Minerva types in my collection, but If and when I look for one I want it to have the appeal of yours. Well...
Thanks all for your opinions. This is a coin I am tempted to put in a short acetone bath.
For U.S Coin: This! plus Large Cents, preferably 94's. NSP, did you notice an 1824/2 JR-2 CBD just sold on the bay. Very low grade but also a...
As much as I love large cents, for me it would be a PO1.
I don't have much experience with copper after the 1820's, but I am pretty familiar with how early coppers up to that date should look like. This...
The color in the pictures is reasonably close to the coin in-hand. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Hats of to Marshall. Attributing this was beyond me. At last I was able to guess it could be a 1797... Hoping for you it is a plain edge!
