Pretty nice condition and at what appears to be a good price. Too bad it already sold.
Not Celtic, unfortunately, but modern blank planchets, probably for tokens. Note the raised edges. Some more on the Eburones:...
NICE! Lot of ungoogleable questions in there. Too bad I forgot to sign up. :(
I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling that way, then. What bothers me are the waves around the shield on the reverse.
Did I screw that one up? I'm still teaching myself these, my bad. In case the link came out wrong, this is what I meant to post: [IMG]
Best compliment I've had in a while! ;)

Some of you may have noticed the "hypothetical" thread in which I alluded to a rather lewd coin. GD said I could post a PG-rated description, so...
I was looking at the third coin - the style seemed very odd. Then I realized, its not aligned correctly. The rosette should be the top of the...
Found the "biblical" coin. Its a dishekel of Byblos, minted under King Azbaal. It shows a galley (as I expected) with warriors above a hippocamp,...
I don't think its a top at all. Its definitely Ezekiel's Wheel. Which I feel was probably a UFO. I just don't feel these are quite the way we...
I disagree. The Wheel shown on the first and third coins look more like tops. I suppose if you were using Close Encounters as the archetype of a...
