You have very refined tastes, if I do say so myself. :p
Doug and Bing 2016!
I meant CNR of course - confusing my acronyms!
In fact, I've requested the dealer who owns the hoard for a another viewing at the Spring Baltimore Expo. The hoard contained about 300 coins and...
I'll post a synopsis of the CNR article tomorrow - just don't have time for it today, but Doug has given you the gist of it.
I wasn't aware of this page, and I thought I had read pretty much everything at FORVM. Thanks for linking it! That article he references in the...
Great coins everyone. I love this type. Diana was the protectress of the hunt, so these coins are essentially religious in character.
If I won the lottery, you'd see a LOT of big bronzes in my collection. I know it's rather vapid, but there's just no substitute for holding a...
I always get nervous when you guys start talking about buying and selling in the open forum. The mods have a very light touch around here, which...
Somebody lost their brand new penny in a field. The surfaces look like they got roughed up by some soil. Otherwise the detail is pretty damn good....
Here's a colorful and very detailed quartuncia - surfaces a bit grainy, but the character of the coin more than made up for that in my opinion......
These arrived today. The first is a Janus as with surfaces I like to call mineral moss... [ATTACH] Roman Republic, c. 148 BC, bronze as of...

Well I've got a Blanc Guenar of Charles the Mad (1368-1422)... [ATTACH] Charles VI "The Mad" 1380-1422 AR Blanc Guénar, 2.9g, 29mm. Obv.: +...
SwK is one of our "high-end" collectors, along with a few others. I'll add my thoughts to this thread later, when I have some more time. :)
Sorry if I got your hopes up, brother. I didn't have time earlier to search the forgery databases, which is what I should have done before I said...
Eh...too bad. That's damning evidence. Thanks Red.
I'll look it up later tonight. But just finding a die match to a known forgery does not prove that your coin is also a forgery. All it proves is...
I don't see any obvious signs of casting, unless there's a seam along the edge. The devices and lettering meet the field crisply and the wear...
Why do you say it's a fake?
