A beautiful coin bearing the portrait of a very unusual man. I've often wondered what would have happened if Alexander had lived 100 or so...
The AETERNITAS type exists for Faustina as Sestertius, As or Dupondius, according to my catalogue. This type seems to have been struck after 146...
I think you are right - that is a Muttonhead, Miller 1.2. Very few Mailed busts facing right were minted. The majority are facing left. The...
I completely agree, Moneyer. There are some very appealing coins minted in Latin America. Don't want to bring your thread off-topic, but here...
Count me in on this one too, Rex - the love of South American Coinage I mean. Unfortunately, I do not have any coins from Argentina in my...
Ryan, this elephant token recently went unsold in a local auction. It did not meet the min. bid of 200 Euros ($ 320 inc. commisions). I was...
I think this is a nice addition Ryan, congratulations. It seems to be the same variety as the first two? I am still missing one for my...
Once again, thank you ALL for your comments, and thank you Eyestrain for the photos of the actual column in Rome. An Impressive monument which I...
Thanks, guys, for your comments. Yes, this is a nice type, showing the level of detail I wanted. The auction where I bought it (H.D Rauch in...
I have been looking now for a while for Trajans denarius depicting the Columna Traiani. The opportunity presented itself a few days ago and I...
Here is an 1824/2, and an 1809 (in low grade, but with a nice planchet).
Finally, here is an 1828 Large date which I bought off Ebay a couple of years ago. Also, an 1801 JR-2 - not a capped bust dime, rather the...
Here is an 1823 over 2 variety, and an 1831. The 1831 has unfortunately been cleaned, and has minor scratches, now retoning naturally. If anybody...
Here are 2 1822's purchased many years ago. Interesting comment by Cappedbustdimes regarding the existence of hoards of this date. I wonder...
My own observations based on watching auction appearances (mainly Heritage), and also Ebay over the years is that 11/09 is most seldom, followed...
I am glad everything seems to be going OK with your shipment, Siggi. Hope they make it back soon. I understand why you are worried - I would be...
I think you are correct. Compare with this example from the R. Logan collection (ex Norweb). Another nice and scarce bust 10C.
Very nice dimes. Most of all I like that 1809. Nice original (and quite scarce!) coin. Congratulations on that one. What is your opinion on...
gbroke, I am not too familiar with modern german issues, but I do know that 'old' marks, minted between 1950 and 2001 and specially those between...
