I assume the Alexandria mink mark is one of the symbols on the reverse fields, but which one?
I´ll give it a grade of BN (bloody nice)
I'm not very convinced that the lion symbol is similar. I agree with Doug that on review it is also different from the Lion of Cyprus. There is...
Thanks Clinker, that was some great trivia
Almost certainly is that coin. For history on the vice-royalty Lombardo Veneto (Lombardy-Venetia), which was awarded to Austria after the defeat...
In case anyone is curious about the year shown on the coin, the Thai calendar dates from the death of Lord Buddha in 543 BC. The current year is...
Thanks for the confirmation on that, Aidan. I can't place the coin, however, nearly all of the Cypriot coins from this era have a cross potent or...
That reverse design looks a bit like the Lion of Cyprus.
I think this is an accurate description of what it looks like to me. I have a couple old wheaties with very similar streaking, though it is very...
It looks like the example attached, which is a prutah of Procurator Antonius Felix (52-59AD), under Emporer Claudius I would like to imagine...

I get this funny twitch when a selling point is that the slabs themselves have 'eye appeal'. Wouldn't that just make my coin jealous?
I'm not sure if I am talking about the same thing, but I have always noticed that the new post-1982 cents up to about 1989 often have a very...
I think its beautiful, but I'm biased toward the SLQ design, down to the ornate edges. Thanks for sharing! BTW, are we allowed to post nude...
I wish I could go to a coin shop and just buy one coin! Alas, your level of self control won't last long...:goofer:
Gold is inert, unreactive in surficial environments, I can't think of anything that would attack it. Of course I'm talking about pure gold, not...
Keep your hoard and return some unwanted Christmas presents for cash. Then make sure you vote category 1 in the 'what kind of collector are you?'...
Welcome to the forum. In short, you are doomed. Chemical alteration by oxides and sulfides occurs in any climate, a tropical climate like yours...
That is a great trivia 'key' that I am going to save, thanks again Clinker. In Spanish, prueba also means 'test' or 'sample'.
