Go for a larger coin with a falling horseman. Size matters. [IMG]
Wow. That officially qualifies as a steal.
Interesting. I've looked at this guy's stuff from time to time, and it always looked sort of off - bland - almost as if it was cast plaster....
If you're not interested in the proof when it arrives, send me a PM and I'll buy it off you. I've been looking to collect a slabbed brown box Ike,...
I was looking at that lot myself, and that's exactly the problem with TT images - they're awful. And for a major auction house, that's just...
I put one together before the internet, and it was quite enjoyable. I went to a number of different dealers and banks and cherrypicked the highest...
You can generally find a handful of them on eBay, in the original packaging. But I do prefer a slab when it comes to protecting a coin that's been...
Nice choice, SD!
Your coin is quite choice, Guy. :thumb:

You know what I find curiously odd about Carausius issues is just how barbarous they can look. The London issues of Maximian adhere strictly to...
I'll add a coin of mine to this thread, only because Constantius Chlorus was sent to dispatch Carausius. He never got the chance, as Caruasius's...
Nice coin, but I don't know from Sassanids. Medorman's your man.
That's a mature choice for a YN - a coin that has far more historical importance than eye-appeal, (although I do like the look of the piece). I...
Yeah, what was that? lol
I think the coin would have looked perfectly ok without any tooling, but it really doesn't bother me. It's a very attractive piece.
I might be undervaluing it. Gitbud Naumann and York have examples of the coin from $140 to $200, and in some ways I like your example than the two...
I assume you're referring to your coin. I don't know that much about the market, but I would be willing to fork out at least $50 for it, maybe up...
I'm too tired to work on attributions at the moment, but the campgate with the Lilliputian bust is my favorite.
