That's a lot of detail for $20. Well-done!
It's a lot of corroded junk. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but your hundred dollars would have been better spent on a couple of well-preserved coins -...
That's an excellent coin! I'm curious: how common, or uncommon are architectural devices on RRs?
Yes, of course. I'm not suggesting otherwise. This conversation just reminded me of a book I recently read: The Coinages of the World, Ancient and...
Some of the most egregious dating logic I've ever come across can be found in 19th-century numismatic texts. For instance, a particular minting...

Give me a fat wallet and I'll show you a great eye. Not to take anything away from Collect89's choice of coin, but if you have the means to buy an...
It's a shame the coin can't be dated more narrowly. Larissa has a rich history during that range.
Great token! Yes, it's in French. VINS D'ESPAGNE would be the name of his business, simply: Spanish Wines. GUEBWILLER, ALSACE is the location of...
