Another suggestion would be to consult Heritage Auction Prices Realized. Just type in: 1807 Comet, and you will get many results results to allow...
This coin unfortunately does not photograph well (it is actually better in hand), but it does commemorate a significant military campaign in the...
I have never seen a Salonina with that reverse. Definitely an interesting and desirable coin. On the subject of reverses, I am definitely in the...
Nice coin, and one which I would love to add to my collection. I don't mid the small rim bump at all. Makes me regret turning down an offer to...
Nice Nerva, Mat. Seems nicely toned too unlike so many denarii I see these days with bright toning. Interesting you are having trouble finding a...
Nice one randy! (and don't worry about the pictures - taking good one is an art which i have not mastered either)
I started off my roman collection focusing on bronzes, specially those of the 1st and 2nd century. Later, I discovered the denarii and I must...
Marcus Aurelius would rather have spent his time improving the administration of the empire, and the lives of his subjects - instead he was forced...
That is a nice Verus denarius, Mat. Interesting how his portrait subtly changes on his coins (specially the size and shape of his nose) Oh,...
Sorry you didn't get it, Marshall. Difficult to say more on grade from the pictures provided, but I think whoever got it, took a gamble, and got...
Well, however got this 1797 Stemless Wreath (S-143 I think?, R-5) possibly didn't quite get a bargain, but got to for at least a very reasonable...
You are absolutely correct about the need to be cautious in this area. I have a nice collection of spanish colonial coins, specifically from the...
Similar but at a lower price level is the 1822 dime. Only 200 or so exist, many in lower grades but also a handful of mint state coins. The 1804...
I've compared your coin to a similar one (also dated 1766) shown in P. 86 of F. Gilboys book. Gilboy was the authority on spanish colonial pillar...
Looking at Heritage prices realized, CQR, and using my own judgement I would price this coin at $ 100-170. It is just too scudzy to warrant more....
Frank, for German coins minted 1800-1871 I would recommend one of the specialized german catalogues. I myself use the book by B. Stutzmann. The...
Interesting coins and interesting discussion, guys.
Viewing the date again, closely, I think it is 1676 and not 1670. The top of the last 6 seems to have been cut very shallow and short so that it...
I checked MCsearch and MA-Shops. Neither list a Fugger 15 K for the year 1670. The years listed are '76 and '77. Interesting. Could be a very...
