Me neither.
The emperor's people sacked Doug from his customer service role after he was grouchy to some wealthy and influential tribune. Doug wasn't takin'...
Easy solution: collect old coins and forget the ultra-modern stuff. ;) Many of the mints that struck the stuff I collect have been in ruins for...
OK, so... Bad news: the coin is altered. Normally that's bad news in terms of monetary value. However... Good news: it's an interesting enough...
It would have a somewhat larger diameter. ;)
The latter, I suspect. Possibly a real coin (looks convincing enough to me), but with the date altered. Now the question is "why"? The work...

At .368 fine (36.8% silver), this is barely a silver coin, and more copper than silver- hence the darker color. Technically, debased silver with...
Nice work on the Numista lookup, @Bradley Trotter. @Chris Winkler- it catalogs $30 in VF20, but your example is nowhere near that grade. It’s...
Thanks for your reply. I like the detailed responses like this. PS- glad to see you back around the joint! :)

Discovered a Dan Carr “Knights of the Coin Table” medal in my unsorted pile o’ stuff yesterday. Very lustrous and quite prooflike. Overstruck on...
Bravo. I do love a good Monty Python Holy Grail reference. Perhaps they should have used the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch on it. I believe...
