Not a mistake. My scale arrived today. It weighs .08 g, including the dirt that remains in the incuse.[ATTACH]
I love the folks at my relatively small town USPS. I had a similar experience a few months ago with a much less valuable coin (about $2). The...
I see that, but the orientation of the shift, if any, seems to be different from the D. It's hard to tell for sure on the photo.
Are you kidding? I'm sure it is all over U Tube by now, complete with videos of how it was found in circulation.
I'm no expert, and I'm probably wrong more times than I'm right, but in my experience when there is that much displacement with mechanical...

Thanks for the help, Silverlock. The coin in that auction has a head, not just a helmet. The seller, in calling "Like Neandria" was, I think,...
Thanks for the likes! I really wish someone would comment on whether my attribution is correct.
I love this tiny 5mm, .08 g., hemitartemorion. The person who sold it to me said it was "Like Neandria" but he could only find an obol on...
Even with coins, it is usually harder to find a perfect specimen than an error. Try to find a regular circulation issue of any US coin in MS70!...
Great write up about some interesting coins and their fascinating history!
Thanks. I'm not totally new to ancients, just ignorant. I bought my first Roman Republic denarius and small bronze from Scepsis back in 1962...
I like both the looks and the history behind them. Yes, I know it is not worth much (I paid about $15 for it), but the great thing about ancients...
