Very nice coin. I've been looking for a decent bronze of Demetrios III Eukaros minted in Damascus. It's an area and time period that holds much...
First of all, they are not legal tender - they are bullion bars. Secondly, just do the math. 6 grams of 24k gold = 0.193 troy ounces. Gold spot...
I don't know anything about grading bust halves, but it's certainly a very attractive coin. :thumb:
Good idea for a collection. Now you need a Buffalo dollar and a copper round...

Put it in the composter. :D
Some sellers just have big followings, for whatever reasons. I've bid on a number of Kennedys that Shane (kryptonitecomics) had up for auction,...
That's 1303 years off - a weird mistake. :confused:
I find that very useful as well, but be aware that the Roman pieces on Wildwinds represent only a part of the coinage - there are many gaps,...

The legend on the first is VRBS ROMA, meaning the city of Rome. It's a commemorative issued by Constantine I, and the reverse does in fact portray...
Not to mention the "provenance" of some guy who claims to have found them at a beach, kept them in a tin for years, and then rediscovered them. If...
That is an interesting article. It shouldn't be terribly surprising that coins of the Kilwa Sultanate were found in Australia though. They had...
The wreath style reminds me of various provincial issues, particularly Spanish ones. Colonia Patricia? Unfortunately I don't have any good...
Spend the junk change - it's only worth face value. If you've got junk silver, sell it in medium-sized lots on eBay. If you've got junk foreign,...
