It's Gallienus in drag.
If you exclude the 1848 2 1/2 dollar stamped CAL as a commemorative coin, the first official commemorative becomes the Columbia half dollar of...
I managed to clean some PVC gunk off the first coin. I'm satisfied at this point that the remaining color, as splotchy as it is, is simply the...
Hello Abram. No such coins are cataloged. The only birth commemorative we have so far, on any Nabataean coin, is that of Phasael. Phasael wasn't...
