Yep. I immediately thought of @AncientJoe.
What a great piece. I'm on a small screen so I just assumed the thumbnail image was also of the engraved side. Yaaay! I'm not the only geek to...
You'd probably have to be older than 70 to be up on that particular ethnic slur. I think its heyday was even before your time. Happily, it may...
Am I correct in believing that NGC Ancients will not grade Kushan coins? Let me rephrase that, since I realize most of you here couldn't care...
Thanks! And thanks for bumping this one back up into the sunlight. I don't think very many people saw it when posted, as I tend to post in the...
Thanks!
Thanks for looking at some of my love token stories, and for the link to the moonmoth page. Fun read. Now, as to your amazing engraved 8-reales...
Exactly as it should be, then. I believe "satiny" is the most commonly used term. "Sheeny" is also an apt description, but unfortunately, that...

OMG, that's fantastic! LOL And here I thought the name Poopy-a... er ... um... Pupienus was funny!
LOL! Well, now you have fodder to use for a sequel to your blog post (which I read in its entirety, BTW). Next spring you can taunt the robins...
Oh. I. WANT. THAT. You're playing one of my favorite tunes, now. You can see some of my love tokens by following the link in my signature. If...
Wow. Before you changed the title, I thought this was going to be a discussion of dumpy little 5th century Æ coins like those of Johannes (which...
I have little doubt that's an AU coin. There aren't many elements to grade from with this design, but in this case, the beading is the best focal...
Yep. Definite die crack.
"Wind god?" "from its belly made a sound of thirty barking dogs"? Were she of a more lierary bent, or reading this, ladymarcovan would start...
At least I discovered an interesting site about antiques when I went through the wormhole. LOL Hey, I like antiques, too. I can think of worse...
Fun eeny-teenies. I had one on the old Holey Coin Vest. When they put a hole in one that small, there ain't much coin left! Looks like a nice...
I went to the CoinStar the other day and checked. Found my usual. Absofreakinlutely nothing at all.
