Hey Steve! Don't throw us all into that dislike pile! :D Nothing fancy, but still one of my favorites. [IMG]
Hey Steve! Fake? Haha...should've seen this sooner, but I've been traveling, like right now even! :) I'll drop by again soon..
Norway, 1687 2 Skilling. The second year of minting at Kongsberg. [IMG]
Hi--haven't been here a while. Here's a Bactrian drachm of Menander with Athena and shield. [IMG]
:too-funny: At all the comments...perhaps it's a die chip? Nice one! :thumb:
Wow--congrats on your find! :thumb:
And it was minted in Norway too--the crossed hammers between the date denote the Kongsberg mint. FYI--the prices quoted by Krause are very low. In...

I collect overdates; here are a couple of my recent finds. :) Sweden 2 Öre 1871/61. Most of the underlying 6 is polished away, but the top of...
:D I'd easily pay that! Here's a situation where I could buy a very nice Athens owl tet or this coin--I'd pick the Athens tet. I know it has...

Dionysos--beautiful coins! Both well-centered and struck too!
