Found two of these in a bulk bag a few years ago. [ATTACH]
It really could catch on. If I remember correctly, @panzerman sold a rare and valuable collection of dead bugs some time ago (butterflies, which...
If you hadn’t have mentioned the silver content, I’d have guessed those were bronze, based on the color.
This is a tad smaller, but close enough?
I think he's aware of the ANA standards. Yes, they're raw coins. Or were, anyway, when photographed.
They missed the opportunity to have some fun with the label, though. C'mon, you know the folks at ANACS had fun with this one, even if it's not...

I don't think it makes F12. You've got no separation of the strands in the wheat ears that I can see. More like G4 to G6 ... details....

I dunno if it's transitional or not- maybe?- but here's a pretty young-looking Vespasian. [IMG] And a posthumous rendering of him, by way of...
Wow. Impressive size, among other things. Cool portrait, too.
Wow! I love the intricacy of those designs. If I had deeper pockets, I would definitely be susceptible to “thalermania”.
Good on you, Steve.
