Funny, I too bought a Faustina Junior coin, as my first ancient piece in 2025, as well although it is a denarius. [ATTACH] Denarius of Faustina...
I bought this 1828 large cent from an EAC dealer at the recent FUN show. He graded it AU-50 EAC net grade to 40+ with "great color." What do you...
P.T. Barnum made a forture with "humbugs." He was the most flamboyant American showman of the 19th century. He became famous for Barnium's museum...
Token collectors have driven the prices for the "Good for a Scent" token to the moon. Here's one that is even more interesting because it has...
I purchased this note at the FUN show. It has a denomination of 12 1/2 cents or a "bit." That might seem like odd amount today, but in 19th...
I completed my Indian Cent set at FUN, at least as far as I'm going which is one of each date plus the 1908 and 1909 San Francisco pieces. Here is...

I am not familiar with this coin, but I'm pretty sure that it won't get a straight grade. Something was done at 12 o'clock on the obverse and...
I think that it's more likely that it was dug out of the ground.
All I have are denarii. This one is not very pretty, but the image on the reverse in interesting. Imagine trying to get a team of lions to pull...
The sharpness is AU-55, but I'm not a fan of the obverse. It looks like it's damaged with an improper dip.
