I honestly don’t see anything on the first coin. I see it clear as day on the second. Are you sure the first one is correctly attributed? Barry...

The first Titus will be withdrawn over the weekend. Barry
All the Titus denarii are fake. There have been quite a few of these around the last few years. I've seen 2 this year at work. The first and...
Venetian Zecchino of Lodovico Manin (1789-1797). Looks chipped and broken around the edges. I would not send it in for grading, at best it will...
