That is interesting. If you'll allow me some rampant speculation, I would imagine it was the old Wayte Raymond "penny boards" of the 1930s (the...
Neat. I read this last year. [IMG]
Congrats on your Gallienus! Yours has pretty decent silvering on it. Often these just look like bronze. The silver layer didn't always survive....
Pictures could be better, as you mentioned, but from what I can tell, they look pretty nice and original, with CircCam contrast. I like that.
This just in: PCGS has graded the coin I purchased MS62! This is cause for celebration, as I was expecting a high AU grade. :) Below is the...
@Dj67- I'm pretty sure I have a nickel-sized jewelry bezel just like that, if you want one.
Nope. Regular 1922 Peace dollar, and harshly polished, unfortunately. Looks like it was in jewelry or somebody's pocket piece for a while. (It...
I would suggest you post bigger closeups, but I'd still be just as clueless then. ;)
Indeed. Those "have his name all over them", so to speak. Both are nice, but I quite like the Severina. (Nice patina, lady coin, etc.)

Neat coins. The bronze is Divus Augustus, "Divus" meaning "god", in other words meaning they had deified him. This is a clue that it is a...
Well, you get a ladder, and then you pull it up the wall, and then all those nasty barbarians can't get at you. :) I think it was the patina I...
I like the first Septimius Severus and the Postumus with the galley.
That punch is indeed intriguing.
Thank you. Once Phil Arnold or his staff at PGGS Photo get their hands on it, it should look pretty awesome. I have yet to get my own hands on...
This thread actually has me browsing Greek bronzes now. :rolleyes:
Upon returning and looking a second time, I like your upgrade even more. Oh, hey , look- it's not a sestertius, but I got a Gordie3 for my Secret...
I always liked those bimetallic Italian 500-lire coins. They rank high on my list of attractive circulating moderns. Let's head over to Greece...
