This is my sole Byzantine gold piece and indeed my sole Byzantine coin for the time being. [IMG]
"Rescued from oblivion", you mean. Your reply just resurrected an 8+ year old zombie thread! That's practically archaeology! ;) (Closed and...
What a superb nose he has in that portrait! Jupiter's been going to the gym, I see.
BTW, everyone, that was @goossen's "pick your prize" choice from Giveaway #40. As of this typing, Giveaway #41 is open for entries, and is also a...
Wow, your photos of the coin look WAY better than the darkish ones I had! The Indian Head Cent "midget stamps" from 1978 (Scott #1734) were the...
I have opted to purchase the 1881, which was my inclination all along. (Happily validated by the poll.) The colors on the 1894 look pretty...
I have received a few shipments from Germany (to me here in the USA) in the last month or so that came via regular post, without the need to pay...

I really like those bulls, too.
I like that saloon token, and the 1862 IHC on the bottom row looks pretty sharp. And that's nice toning on the 1888.
Feel free to post further experimentation here. Maybe I will do the same, if I can figure out how to make a click-to-start GIF instead of an...
There are a lot of easy to use GIF-making apps nowadays. I have one called GIF Studio on my phone. Yeah, I get what you mean about eliminating...
Better.
I guess mine might not be a tessera either, or from Antioch, for that matter.
Nah, I get it. And it works. Full marks for trying something new. I think most people would find static images preferable, however. Even my...
Separate names with a comma.
