John, those were normally struck w/o a date, according to my catalogue. It does not look like a fake. It is a common coin. Should weigh 18.52 gr....
Don't know about Eliasberg or Clapp, but I do own a couple of the Norweb coins which I bought during the 1988 auctions. I have to admit that it...
That is a nice 8 Escudos, Gallienus. And you are correct, at one time these were priced at Bullion Value for the lower grades, IRRESPECTIVE of the...
Pity you were not able to persuade your wife. 2,000,000 pesos works out to about $ 4000 (?). That is about 5 times more than I paid for mine, but...
Another coin from Chile. This one a peso dated 1817 of the volcano type, but without assayers initials, and with the 'Y' positioned directly above...
Ah, the Woytek book - that book is often cited in the german forums.
I am sorry to hear that, and you are right - that is one reason why I mostly stopped buying chilean colonial or republican issues over the last...
Here some chilean minors: a 1792 cuartilla (1/4 real), and a 1834 half real. Nice to see some interest in Latin American coinage in the forum....
Unfortunately not, at least not without having to get a second mortgage on the house. Santiago 8 Reales columnarios have become just too...
I saw your 1817 peso and it is a nice coin. I am glad you found one. Chile's Volcano coinage has always been scarce and in demand, but it seems...
Roman emperor Domitianus. The reason the horse looks relatively small relative to the rider is because in roman times, horses were actually...
By the way, Doug - those are some nice bronzes you have there. I particularly like Trajan on horseback, and the Shield (macedonian?) reverses....
Thank you, Ardatirion. I will be interesting to see what that reference says.
Style is OK, but weight variance from the norm sees a little too high. Check the edge design: it should be a chained link design. Maybe it was...
Thank you, doug. Here is the one that threw me off. CNG call this coin a Dupondius with Laureate Bust. I see no difference to others they call...
This Trajan bronze came in a lot I bought many years ago. It is a scarce type, and surprisingly it was just thrown in with a lot of other 1st...
Like your new lady, Mat.
I grade the 1884 MS 60. I see slight wear only on the eagles breast, but this may be due to strike. Nice coin. The 1883 I grade XF45, with nice...
These are chilean coins from the early 19th century - a peso dated 1818, a real dated 1834, and a escudo also dated 1834. Depicted on the...
And here an 1801, S-219, R-2 - popular '3 errors reverse' which I picked up at Summer F.U.N in Orlando this year.
