Not much one can say about them without better pictures, which would be difficult since they are fused into a solid block. However, it is obvious...
Congratulations on finding the Sheldon book. I find Breen's Encyclopedia generally adequate for my collecting purposes, but the Sheldon book,...
I use acsearch and am very happy with it. It also will cost you (about $90/year) but it will tell you how much comparative pieces have brought at...
Since this old thread has been brought up I'll post my other sestertius of Nerva. This one bearing LIBERTAS PVBLICA on reverse, and with a deep...
Thank for your comment, beef1020. I checked both Breen and the mega Red Book regarding the quality of the Classic Head planchets. Both these...
This is yet another coin that I've had for a while without proper attribution, and it is provides another pleasant surprise. This 1795 H10C is a...

Very nice capped quarters. That was a good purchase, Mike. I check my 1834 and it seems to be the same variety as yours (I noticed it has the...
It is an attractive denarius, and at a very good price. I would love to see your 8 Escudos when you get it:). Are you looking for any...
