That's a marvelous token.
They're excellent coins. I'm partial to that quadriga design myself.
It looks like you've got some VF detail under the crud. It might be worth some more work. But I don't think it's Constans - I think Ripley is...
It depends entirely on the coin.
Am I the only one that thinks this coin is heat damaged? It looks like it's been through a very hot fire, then cleaned.
I think the reverse looks lopsided because the mint mark wasn't punched into the dies directly below Genius.
Yes, but you already won with that coin! :)
It's an unprovable theory, but it makes sense. The coinage was authorized of course, but NOT by the crown - by Bostonians! There was no king at...

Not quite. Hint: check with the king of England.
Trivia question: why is it clever that these coins are dated 1652, even though they may have been struck later?
The details designation won't matter to a potential buyer of this coin. What's important is its authenticity.
That's Andre the Giant and Jimmy Snooka. Isn't it sad how much utter garbage accumulates in your brain over a lifetime?
I think we should stage a gladiator fight between stevex and Bing. Who's with me on this?
Ah, the good old days. Games just ain't what they used to be.
That is indeed a small coin with wonderful detail. Well-done. Thanks for the write-up as well. A+ all around!
What does the club signify? Is it as facile as Roman military dominance, or is there more to it?
I'm fine with the deposits. If it doesn't need to be cleaned for the sake of conservation, I actually prefer the look.
A dab of verdicare won't hurt. I've used it on some of my other coins where I couldn't tell if the green was a harmless deposit or not.
