Roman Empire: silver denarius of Julia Domna, ca. 196-202 AD [IMG] German States (Saxony): silver thaler, "Three Brothers" type, 1596-HB;...
I wonder if @Randy Abercrombie saw this. (Different surname spelling, but hey...) ;) Nice writeup.
I've been on a bit of a spree lately, but I need to chill out soon. Bought these two today. I've been wanting that thaler a while. Sometimes...
It just dawned on me that that 1914 Barber half is a Philly, and therefore a key date. Cool!
I liked that 1814 half above (it's a PCGS F15, BTW), but I think I'll pursue this 1818 instead. Update: I bought this one. [IMG][IMG] [ATTACH]

Moved this to Ancient Coins for you. (Coin Chat was fine, but you're more likely to get answers in Ancients, in this particular case.)
Let's hold out for the book, but any time you'd rather have something else (from my Pick Bin), just let me know.
Unfortunately I don't, right now, offhand. I keep hoping he'll be back.
Don't be silly, man! Somebody's gotta be first! ;)
