I just have this one old fogey. [ATTACH]
I like the first one.
Nah. Hijacking a thread is when someone brings up ancient coins in a US coin thread. :shy::oops::sorry:
Very nice collection so far! You have selected your coins very well. :)
Fascinating story. I did not know that. Thanks for sharing!
I have an extra. You want it?
I bought it raw on eBay. I have had offers in the $300 range. 6x return sounds good enough for me for my cheap coin. Again, NGC MS-63....

NGC MS-63 [ATTACH] [ATTACH] That is my coin, and I have it in hand. What I wrote are my in-hand opinions. As I said, the TPGs are not always...
I was not saying you are wrong. Just the notion that all surface problems (eg. toning) are issues that should be considered damage. I was agreeing...

Really cool coin! Animals on both sides! That's a winner for sure! When I went to China, I found out that scorpions were apparently an edible...
I have also heard Sui and Western Han as dates for these coins. Not much is known about them. I have one as well. Frank Robinson has several that...
Nice pickup @Sallent! That spade is nicer then both of my examples. The rusty patina around the hole makes me think that is was buried while...
I have never seen one of those before. Cool coin and great writeup!
