I personally don’t find the PCGS prongs as intrusive, though they’re still not ideal. I do wish both services would skip prong holders...
Neat thread. I like how the chalcedony bust of Nerva shown in the OP appears to be supernaturally floating in midair. This Nerva as from my...
Ditto. I’ve heard a round of antibiotics should clear that right up. ;)
It’s a shorthand term for that contrasting look, which is a look I like. That sort of contrast really sets off the design elements and makes them...
In the Dansco 7070 album, the “Turban Head” term takes in all the Capped Bust denominations, of course, but also includes the Classic Head half...
Best I can do on this theme is a lion quadriga, but I’m afraid it’s a tad modern, being only 95 years old. That’ll have to do, until I get my...
@DonnaML - your COL NEM is a CircCam!

Nice little enigma for three and a half bucks. Hey, ancient silver for under five bucks, who cares how slick it is, right? Shoot, I'll bet...

I was asking $500 delivered to US addresses. (That's the KM catalog price.) But listen, I got this piece at a nice price, so there’s some...
This modest piece is the only Augustus I have owned thus far. (I'd love an Octavian in silver someday.) @octavius- every one of those you posted...
Congrats! Nice find!
Bummer. :( Thanks. I suspected as much. Maybe I'll pare it down to just one, then. If anyone's curious, these are my recent NGC acquisitions....
Now it’s my turn to ask a question. I’ll be letting @stevereecy piggyback on my next PCGS crossover submission. There will be four coins: his...
Neat. Hadn't heard anything about Mayflower commemoratives. I am a descendant of William Bradford, the Pilgrim governor. [IMG]
Yes, that is the point, but when people tell you there's no "S" there, they aren't patronizing you. They're stating a fact. Yes, your mind is...
He sure has a flat nose there.
Separate names with a comma.
