Bravo! Well done.
Good heavens, man. You are such a geek! In the best ways, of course. ;)
$1.67, actually, by today's price. Nice find.
For some reason, I really like that "cloudy sky" avatar. It stands out.
Glad you explained that, 'cause it gave me a "whoa, what?" moment. o_O;) I was going to disparage the coin for being cleaned, but now that I hear...
Ooh! Congrats! Nice original looking piece, too. For those saying "VG", I reckon y'all are going by the lack of any LIBERTY on the shield....
What's my wife got to do with anything here? o_O:shifty:
I agree with @cwart. I don't know about the authenticity, but the graffiti and polishing would have made me steer well clear of it. But since...
Nicely done. I knew it was 18th century, but was thinking French. There was so very little to go on with this. I think you're right, based on...

My oldest coin is also one of the smallest, at 9mm. But being tiny adds to its charm and makes one admire the skill of the ancient die engraver...
I’d like to add more biggies. Roman sestertii and European thalers in particular. But only up to 40mm or so. I don't want anything that...
I was going through my SDBs the other night. It was my first time looking at my coins in hand in a while. (90+% of the time I view my collection...
BTW, I was looking at this one, but it’s already at $5,500. Way out of my league.
To answer your question, I think you did pretty well. I’ve seen worse than that coin with four-figure pricetags.
Coingratulations! This is a timely thread for me, as a lifetime Julius Caesar denarius is at the top of my current hit list. I've been shot down...
Your prize coin begins its transatlantic trek this morning, June 4th. Be sure to let us know when it arrives on the other side of the pond! :)
That 1798 S-163 is lovely!
