A member of this forum, gbroke, has a very nice site to organize your collection. I've just started adding my pieces there......
And that's an excellent reason. I once assembled a Dansco album of Peace Dollars, and the biggest challenge was finding well-struck coins.
It's a cool piece, don't misunderstand me. I wouldn't mind owning it myself as a curio. :) That punch-out that dwhiz posted isn't my cup of tea...
Another high-quality piece in a high-quality collection. Bravo! The elephant head on your coin has a curiously modern, cartoonish look.
That's it! That's where I've seen it before - at an airport gift shop, lol. Right next to the little snowflake landscape thingies.
Yeah, I'm saying it's bad - just...odd. The president on a spoon handle. :confused:
I've noticed some sellers will try to sell counterfeit coins at a premium. After all, there is a collectors' market for counterfeits. But I...
Tell me about it. I've got three. The level of knowledge in our house is positively astounding. It surpasses the learning of all the great sages...
That's the stuff! :thumb:
This is rather a bad picture gamble, but I just sniped this coin for a song. Although it only grades F, it doesn't seem to have any problems other...
I've read that Magnentius restored many of the privileges of pagans, so perhaps the reverse with two Victories and the cross-Rho is meant to...
Those are hardly sad. Heh - I think I win the prize for pathetic excuses for coins with my Nabataeans, not that we're competing. :)
There's no such thing as a bad Nemausus. But those are beautiful bronzes, and I understand they're far from common in those grades. Your...
That's a handsome set, Clutchy!
They don't have any.
Wow. That's an exceptional coin. Those gorgoneion/aphrodite on bull types are not a dime a dozen, and yours is the nicest example I've come across...
A spoon is an odd item for a portrait, but I've seen odder.
Gold elephants! Indeed, they are beautiful.
And another puzzling date. Wildwinds gives the Augustus dates as 347-355, but Constantius II lived to 361. In 355, Julian's Gallic legions...
Well I've updated the reader-board on my pic with the new information. Thanks again Bing! But there seems to be some discrepancy about the dates...
Separate names with a comma.
