That's a frustrating coin, because it's so attractive, which makes the spots all the more distracting. But on a 108-year-old copper-nickel alloy...
It may or may not have been cleaned. Most of them have that look. Personally, I think it's market-acceptable and has a solid shot at a straight...
How'd this end up in World Coins? LOL That's OK. I certainly don't mind looking at proof half cent eyecandy. I'm rather fond of 19th century...
Nice pickup. Mine cost me $98 in a slab. Same date and similar condition to yours! I could've had a slabbed MS61 for ~115-ish (the dealer had...
My thoughts exactly!
My first Arcadius coin was a little Æ4 like yours, though yours has nicer patina. My second was an Æ2, and I acquired it in a rather interesting way.
Ah yes. Lizzie the First! I want something from her one day. Have only had two before; both low grade with problems. That one look pretty sharp.
Wow, that's a really nice one! Bet that made your day.
Congratulations! The only "Diadumenian" I've owned turned out to be misattributed as such.
That's quite an array.
Looks like you ended up with two different profiles: this one with your full name and the other one with a shortened username based upon it....
Thank you. I did not know about the "DIVI Series". Now I will certainly notice them when I'm browsing ancient coin sites. As to your English,...
Not all the thumbnails are loading for me, but... wow.
Thanks. There are other dig videos on my channel, but I think that one is the best. Even if it does run a bit long, at over 20 minutes.
Bizarre and fascinating. Celtic coins of this era just seem so much more mysterious to me. It's kind of like the later stuff from the Anglo-Saxon...
Nice reverse designs, particularly on the second coin! The first has that handsome eagle plus attractive patina, too.

It looks to me like a coin that was cut down to a smaller size (i.e., PMD, or post-mint damage). However, I don't really know. I will defer to...
Too esoteric for me, I'm afraid, but those are both very handsome coins. I particularly like the second. But sorry. Can't help you with variety...
