And, I guess it opens up the rabbit hole if control marks equal mint marks. Plenty of republican coins had those. Does the OP mean "R", like...
Like George Carlin said, "WHY?!!!" Why was that slabbed?
Yeah, I just remembered, Al Kowsky has posted some slabbed Byzantine coins. I think I only have one details slab, a silver Magna Graecia with...
I didn't know that Byzantines were ineligible for entombing. I like them even more now!
Yes! That's why I collect the 3rd century Balkan provincials; the nice patinas. I usually don't heavily collect as-sized coins. This one has a...

Quite a few of these seem to be turning up. I had a question about one, quite a while ago, and the answer was that these were issued over quite a...

I'm not into American coins, but were the previous ones more worthwhile? I concur with the opinion, by the way.
Thanks! I'll examine more closely when the coin arrives. Perhaps someday I'll get a 'real' owl, but opportunity cost makes it tough for the...
My JC portrait denarius is too execrable and embarrassing to bother to show. My not super terrible elephant isn't photographed. Other than the...
