Clearly Roman Republican denarius. I am certain others here can give you the exact attribution. Head of Roma, chariot reverse. Concentrate on the...
From what I heard, it was Gitbud and Naumann separately, then they joined for a while, but not Naumann now has nothing to do with Gitbud and...
The D I recognize I believe from the 32 D quarter. It always has that indented look to it. The O I do not see anything wrong with it at first...
That is what I was going to say. Technically the metal might be there, but the cleaning has taken away a part of what should be on an AU coin, the...
I wonder if either the plastic is PVC, or if the paper has sulfur and its green toning starting. Either way, you will never get a shiny original...
Maybe, but they made TONS of them, and the collector base is smaller now. I own some of the $5 gold coins, but bought them below melt and do not...
I was just about to post I bought two items but haven't received an invoice yet, but as I was typing the email came in.
I have not done it either, but a local dealer I was visiting once, (don't usually deal with), but he had two boxes an employee was unpacking. I...
My quadrans are not far off of denarius size. This coin appears to be bronze or orichalcum, which quadrans would be the correct term. Denarius...
GLD, IAU, a google search will find many just for gold. They have the same for silver, platinum, etc. They hold physical metal and trade as a ETF.

Yes, that will usually lend itself to making color appear more uniform.
$250 for something unusual? For me, it might be a classic US commemorative. $250 for any ancient coin would not be "unusual" for me.
I am not seeing anything strange in colorations. The colors shown look appropriate for the metal and eras to my eyes.
Bought some for my son in 2013, (his birth year). Only other one I bought was the WWII park one that I gave to my uncle who was a Iwo Jima...
Interesting, even ancient collectors? If its a modern coin, (within the last few hundred years) I am always conscientious to hold on the edge, but...
I highly agree with the exception of older coins. Anything modern and AU/BU can be damaged touching the surfaces. However, I just bought a very...
How do you know its made from silver? Just curious. I have seen these in pot metal, and seen them in pot metal with a silver coating. I have never...
I simply do not know why those two are the first two women honored. I am not sure they would make my top 40 US women who should be honored.
I collect Franklin pieces as well. I prefer the Delaware issues myself, but have many Penn issues. There was also a NJ issue.
