Here is my favorite from the era. Another Roty piece. [ATTACH] Greece, French School of Athens Paris 1898, by Oscar Roty, Obverse: Allegory...
These are all from this week's Stephen Album sale. I also picked up some group lots. I will share some of the better stuff from those once they...
Not an ancient but I wanted to participate. The practice was pretty widespread at points in history. This one was also unlikely to have been...
Interesting. I would be interested in hearing answers also. It may be irrelevant but is the cross on the reverse slightly thinner on the top photo?
Very nice. I've found that most of the people that are chasing 70's in current coinage don't appreciate these as we do.
My first addition in months. I've been searching for some earlier pieces. They just don't come up for sale very often. Even the German dealers I...
I am a big fan of 3rd Party grading but it can make us (including me) lazy at times. We are told constantly buy the coin, not the holder. It...
This was a surprise win in yesterday's Agora auction. I bid on it a while ago and kind of forgot about it. This is now my oldest German States...
Picked up 1 from today's Heritage sale. There were only a handful of lots in the auction that I both wanted and could afford. There were 2 of...

How about this Henry Clay medal. Building on the reverse. [ATTACH]
Really like the Edward the Elder piece. I will have to add that to my wish list.
I just listed a bunch of stuff on eBay. Mostly slabbed world coins. In addition, I have listed some neat badges. I have a bunch more to...
Some LCS pickups from this morning. The 1st 2 photos were purchased below spot price. Sorry for the lousy photos. They looked better on my...
I've been wanting to add one of these for a while. Can you imagine if a US engraver had spelled out his whole last name on a coin what a scandal...
The only 1 I have. [ATTACH]
I appreciate the thoughtful response. I didn't come out and say it but being a fake crossed my mind more than once. What gets me is how "correct"...
Ok, CT friends, I need a little help. I picked this up today at our monthly coin show. Everything thing at first glance appears good. The weight...
I struggled with this same problem last year. Fortunately, the dealer did negotiate and allow me to make payments. Sometimes, you just have to do...
To me, it looks like a greenish tint above the ear on the obverse and circling the denomination on the reverse. It may just be me.
