Nothing against that shiny new stuff, but I like bulk World silver lots of older coins, which can often be had at face [edit- I meant to say...
Here's one I used to own that I forgot about. Stumbled across the picture in my archives not long ago. It was a neat piece. I also had a couple...
[ATTACH] It's in someone's cart! Wonder when they'll go to checkout? ROFL :hilarious:
Yes, the Russian people have had a tough time of it for centuries. Still, I respect their resilience, and certain aspects of their culture....
Aww, don't walk away from those. Run. As fast as you can.
Ow! Ow! My eyes hurt now! :greedy:
Yes, that reverse with the altar is really neat. So are the flow lines on that coin.
Interesting, but not terribly attractive. I agree with the "secondary toning" consensus.
Ooh, love that toned CONCORDIA. I looked up the one I had in my old 2007-08 collection (my first ancient coin collection). It was a pleasing...
Can't wait to see what this looks like in hand. I placed some bids in Frank's April auction, then forgot all about them and never noticed an...
I love these brassy orichalcum coins.

While I can't tell on most of them, based on those photos, I do see a few obvious fakes in there. I would bet that all of the Seated and Bust...
I love this type. I had a holed example (an 1842 full penny) on my old Holey Coin Vest. I'd love to have an AU-UNC (unholed) example one day. [IMG]
I'm not surprised it went for strong money, considering the oddball subject matter. Very cool piece.
In that, you and I are in complete agreement. Considering that most (probably 99+%) of the ancient coins in the marketplace today spent...
If you check out the "Bygones" gallery, you'll see Kaiserreich and German States coins, and plenty of French, including some real eyecandy pieces...
No, that pastel toning is a bit unusual, and was of course the selling point. Or rather it is unusual for a business strike coin. I have had a...
Eclectic. You have to pay a monthly bill to get electric. :p I remember you liking the King John penny, which kind of surprises me. That's not...
