Here are my latest acquisitions for my primary collection. I'm adding some moderns to the Eclectic Box. There might be one more biggish (by my...

Neat piece, WB2. I was unfamiliar with the type. Do you suppose it was overstruck on something else? There looks to be "something going on"...
Not all of us can. But the main thing is to buy the best stuff you can afford. That's the nice thing about this hobby. Within any budget from...
Well, looka here! New member in one of my threads got a Doug "like", though he expressed it in his post and didn't use the "like" button. When...

Well, poke me with a stick if I don't get the story written up before too long. I promised member "Mark" on Collectors Universe that I would...
Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, certainly got around. Here he is, looking younger and possibly beardless, on a ca. 1521-1545 Brabant gold florin I...
That looks like a fun project. I look forward to seeing your future ones.
It looks similar to one I added to my MA-Shops watchlist just this morning. Yours looks to have been struck in slightly paler electrum. A Celtic...
