This section has gotten a bit too quiet lately, so I'm going to try to drum up some chatter. Everyone who can, post some early medieval coinage....
What sort of coverage does Tye give these? (I still have to purchase the book.) The other problem with Mitchiner is that his books are absurdly...
There's a listing of these in Mitchiner's work on jetons. That's the only place I could think where one would be listed, but I don't recall seeing...
Thank's for the post. I AM one of that younger generation who wasn't around at the time. :D How did the IAPN eventually come to the conclusion...
The second is a Nuremburg jeton from the 17th century.
Its a gaming piece, from the early to mid 19th century.
I'll be there for work. (Its awesome to say that, lol)
Here's my two: [IMG] Japan Ko-Kanei Tsuho type Mito mint, Hitachi prefecture 1 mon, 1635 AD [IMG] Japan Emperor Sakuramachi Shin-Kanei Tsuho...
The Kanei Tsuho aren't easy at all, if you do a complete job on them. Anything that has to be attributed by calligraphy style is hard. (But so...
Ah, very good. You just had a bit of a type on your dates. :D
Rarity does not equal value, remember that. Its only valuable if there are enough people are willing to pay good money for it. RPC I is an...
Good job on correctly attributing them! You didn't even get tripped up on the Galerius. I would say $45-55 for the Galerius and $35-45 for the...
If we're posting our oldest French coins... [IMG] Counts of Poitou, in the name of Chalres le Chauve (the Bald) AR denier Melle, late 10th cent....
You're partly right. The obverse die is different, I focused on the reverse, which IS a match. To get this coin authenticated would be a waste of...
They aren't the same coin, but struck with the same dies. Thus the different toning. The "thicker letters" on the OP's coin are a result of "wear."
The OP's coin and the confirmed fake were struck from the same dies. There are no differences. The style on the obverse (particularly the eyes)...
Its a modern fake. The design is a complete fabrication and not based on any original ancient coin.
Kyme, Aeolis. AR tetradrachm, stephanophoric type. Under magistrate Seuthes, BC 165-140. Unfortunately, I believe this one is a fake. I would be...
Unfortunately, no. This coin isn't even remotely similar to any original Greek type. The good news is that genuine ancient Greek coins can cost...
I'm sure the publication of the hoard will include a complete photo-catalog, given the ease of modern technology. I for one look forward to...
