Well, there's something I didn't know. I have heard both terms, of course, but did not know that one was the plural form of the other. In fact,...
BTW, since the cat's out of the bag now, I can share a picture of the site. If you were to draw a hypothetical "X" about an inch or two below the...
I finally got around to submitting the copy in the OP to our local newspaper, The Brunswick News. The reporter botched some of the details about...
Aha! So the "no graven images" thing, then? Nothing smacking of idolatry, like their heathen Roman overlords were so prone to? I suppose this...
Looks OK to me. The greyish toning is not displeasing, though I suppose it could be "secondary" toning that resulted after an old cleaning. This...
Oh, I'm definitely in, again. As before, I pledge to do another giveaway of my own, should I win yours. (Mine would likely be of the World...
You go, Deacon! I admittedly am way behind the curve on Judaean coinage, though my best friend Michael (@Aethelred) is an enthusiast, so I guess...
Nice. I haven't been up to Savannah in a while, though I live on the GA coast. What dealer did you visit? That Peace dollar looks to be quite...

PS- Hey, Brian! I know you! :woot: I know how you got "dirty", too! Same way I got "dirty" in my "Dirty Movies"... ;) [MEDIA] Would love to...
Those are great. Love the toning on the Hussey's and the reverse of the Warmkessel. And the error on the "SPOOT" pieces always makes me chuckle....
Mmm... I love sandy patina on ancient bronze. That's one nice thing about these Holy Land coins... they often come with sweet "desert" patina....
That Tiberius is amazing. In my initial Roman collection and later my Twelve Caesars set, I went for the "Tribute Penny" type with him (I mean,...
Lovely design, as so many of these Swiss shooting thalers have. Could very well be a habit-forming category to collect.
I too subscribe to the ballast theory, regarding the Arcadius coin I found. A friend of mine found a 1797 Cartwheel penny in a ballast pile near...
This. It would be this.
Dan Carr, I presume?
No. This was the last year of issue, so the '38-D coins got saved in large quantities and there are consequently very many Mint State survivors...
