My guess is India, Princely States, 18th or 19th century. I was hoping one of the Eastern numismatic gurus would chime in before I had to make a...
All ancient coins are cleaned. It's just a matter of personal taste as to how much they get cleaned.
Rio, in the middle of the summer. :inpain:
If it was mine, I'd leave it be. It's a strong coin with good detail, and the dirt lies mostly in the fields, highlighting the devices. It looks...
Ah, the ancient Elbownian bicycle wheel type.
I for one would very much like to see your holiday snaps. I'm glad Mt. Vesuvius behaved while you were there. :)
That sentence stood out to me as well. It's worse than elitism. It's an outright lie. Numismatics HAS developed alongside the discipline of...

He's referring to the fact that eBay's percentage is taken out of the entire amount of the sale, which includes the shipping/postage. Paypal also...
The cat-snake story seems plausible enough in my opinion, an ancient method of pest control. Evidently these folles of Helena were struck in large...
This coin isn't ancient, and unlike so many ancients we actually have a comprehensive and accurate report of its buying power from Francis...

Here are some Lancaster City parking tokens from the 1990's, the ancient days when behemoths roamed the earth and you couldn't pay for parking...
