Makes me sad seeing these coins. Sad because I wasn't smart enough to buy the folders in the 1980s with rolls of these one sided toners in them. I...
He is a troll, and in the grand internet scheme of things, not an especially memorable one. Respond to something posted if it makes your point or...
Should be a 63, but guessing 64.
Eagle must be reading about politics today......
They didn't make National Currency notes in 1801, right? Are you sure not 1881 or something?
Like @Randy Abercrombie said, you always need to look at what spot was when published. Same as going back to 1992 and looking at a 1942 circulated...
I would agree with that, if submitted today it would probably be 64. By rights its a 63 today, and I also would not be surprised if @toned_morgan...
Spot is industrial/jewelry users and market participants. The US mint would be a participant, not someone buying a monster box, let alone a few...
I agree. Premiums are a function of how much people want it. Is silver started an ever upward trend like 2011, premiums would continue until near...
Any dealer attributing this to Cleo VII simply does not know ancient coins. Her Ptolemaic types are extremely well documented, as are most of hers.
I see nothing wrong with your coin OP. I have a soft spot for these, my first ancient coin was a pretty VF with emerald patina.

Not a fan of the Cleo VII theory. Everyone, since she is so famous today, tries to associate coins with her. Not without sound archeological or...
CILICIA, Anazarbus. Valerian I. AD 253-260. Æ (27mm, 14.59 g, 6h). Dated CY 272 (AD 253/4). Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Dionysus,...
Muwhahahaha, I will drag you yet to the dark, dark side of ancient group lots! Cool score. I find such pieces much more interesting when you have...
Ok, I thought it was interesting the animals depicted, while clearly being what we would call a leopard, was labelled Panther, just like your...
As always, wait for some other opinions here sir. Its a special coin. Very low mintage, but priced barely above the common Rays issue of 1866. I...
I have a special affinity for that coin, I love 67 rays nickels for some reason. However, I would say cleaned or overdipped. Many of these turned...
I was thinking black panther. Actually, I think it shows this, a legendary panther associated with Dionysus:...
