Another new image of a Julian II I posted in another thread. This coin has been surprisingly troublesome to image. Here again, the facial features...
I agree - light deposits never bother me, as long as they're not BD. Many times they add to the eye appeal of the coin in my estimation. Here are...
Yeah, me too. Who am I kidding?
The quantitative meaning of "overboard" will mean two different things to you and me, but I'm exactly in the same boat. I've got a bag full of...
Ok - I tested the spots with a needle, and they are not powdery at all. In fact, they're rock-hard and don't budge at all. Perhaps I have nothing...

No, I haven't seen many. I've seen a handful of double strikes, but none as impressive as yours. A brockage would be nice to own, but I've never...
Good eye, Bing! You've got to look very closely at the seller's pic to realize that coin has good detail, which obviously you did.
It's the most likely explanation for the error on this coin, but it doesn't rule out other types of minting techniques. Nabataean coins exhibit as...
Uh...I'm not the only one that collects Nabataeans round these parts. That coin is a glorious mess, askea. I love it! It looks like the coin...
