I want in! As for which, it's a difficult choice. Of course I'd love such a nice Hamburger, but Claudius was such an interesting emperor I'd...
I can't speak to the irreplaceable cultural value of all of the pictured coins, but I doubt the 10 centimes from 189? and the "Republica Italiana"...
"The weight of your hemidrachm is good; maybe it is the picture, I just wonder why on the reverse, the star and the letter show almost no wear. "...
Wow! That is more than just a struck through. It is a $1 struck on a dime planchet with 10 cent dies!
No expert here, especially in the type, but my first impression was AU58. On closer examination I saw a couple of dings on the obverse, which...

To get back to the original theme, here is my 1941-S 20 centimes from French Indochina (included Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos). Minted in San...
Not to hijack the original post, but here is a Vichy 2F, one of those I collected from circulation in 1971. It was only worth 2 centimes New...

Very similar to the French 2F , this Belgian 2 franc was made in the US, but it was made from the zinc plated steel blanks originally made for...
