Hmm... quite a few more collectors of ancient coinage in the forum than I thought. I thought we were a band of 10 or so. A pleasant surprise....
Nice, all 3 of them! It has happened to me too that I forget about some coins which I have... (there is a name for that, isn't there?)
Well, I may be middle aged, but certainly not ancient..... Count me in, I love roman and celtic coins!
Doug, I thank you immensely for this information. I HAVE SAID THIS BEFORE AND I WILL SAY IT AGAIN: WHEN IT COMES TO SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE, YOU...
Hi Doug, what I was enquiring about is Conrad (or you) could confirm the Gorinchem variety of MY coin. You identified mine as Gorinchem as well....
silvereagle82, if you allow, here is my Gorinchem Rose Noble. You can appreciate it is not in terribly good condtion, but it is all there. I...
Nice potpourri you have there. The Bolivian coin (4 sueldos?) seems to be in quite good conditions. These are usually weakly struck,...

I find these tiny coins, minted by the Vangiones and Vindeliker Celtic tribes of central Germany really captivating. They were minted around...

Try this site: http://www.numismatikforum.de/forum7.html I am sure somebody there will know.
Sorry, I missed that. Then I will say it again, you are a VERY lucky guy! PS- want to trade you silver center plug, for my 1795 B-5 in VF30?
That was an excellent buy. You are one lucky guy and that coin looks good. More so if that is indeed the center plug variety. As far as which...
I cannot tell you how 'common' fakes/counterfeits are in the area of ancient numismatics, but I can tell you that they are encountered quite...
It seems to be a 10 Liards coin, minted in the Austrian Netherlands (present day Belgium), in the name of Maria Theresa (per Krause). The material...
Ldhair, for comparison here is an 1814 dime with 'StatesofAmerica' as one word. It is the 1814 JR-5 variety. Note how the spacing of the letters...
I agree- that is a terrible counterfeit of the scarce (R-4+) 1809 dime. You have outlined most/all of the points of divergence vs. the original....
