Pretty close, considering I was using an Anglo-Gallic coinage book that only goes to the 1500's! :desk:
No more significance than a piece of chocolate! :kewl: Presumably, it would be carried or kept as a keep-sake as any love token would. GDJMSP -...
Scotland, silver 1669 Merk. (Its about the size of a half dollar, to put it in perspective) As some of you may or may not have noticed, its not...
You're gonna have to take my word for it - I have a small bag of ancients I have to attribute and scan in before any other images are taken. If it...
Got twelve Newfoundland half dollars in VG/F for 10 dollars a piece today. 1894, 1896, 1898, 1900, 1904 H, 1907, 1908, 1909, 1911, 1917 C, 1918 C,...
No, definately a trident. Perhaps on the obverse - helmeted head of Athena right? Also, if you cleaned it yourself - you overcleaned it! When...
True, true. But I wasn't quite familiar enough with the type to definitely say its a fantasy piece. :(
I think its a fake. 1. its underweight. 2. At the top of the obverse, 12 oclock, the rim seems to mesh into the field. 3. the meander pattern on...
Theres more to numismatics than monetary value, remember. Personally, I LOVE these!
I'm not a usual poster on the error forum, but I agree with condor. If it were a lamination, the letters would not be visible - correct?
Ah, but the point is, if theres only three known, maybe only one or two would be sold publicly, with the rest being sold privately, with no one...
I agree the lettering is unusual. Thats what made me think it was an unofficial issue or something. I think that, if it were a fantasy piece, it...
Replicas are generally made for one of two reasons: for sale to tourists as souveniers, or to fool collectors. I think this one leans closer to...
You're assuming that the hoard would just be released onto the publc. When was the last time you got unsearched coins straight from Turkey or the...
Well, its not machine struck, at least. Therefor, its either ancient or a modern repro. Though I do work with a lot of ancients, I have absolutely...
Number of collectors is certainly a huge factor. Take a look at Newfoundland coins for a perfect example. (I'm using these rather than ancients...
Because Liberty is a classy lady who would NEVER associate with any tantalizing (pun intended) who-are who emits lightning from her palms! Lol,...
Youch, that a bit harsh there Speedy. God forbid I offer to trade a 2007 cent for a 2007 cent! I'm just kidding, rules are rules. :bow:
Also, the definition of a variety is different. For example, type 1 and type 2 buffalo nickels. If they were ancients, odds are people would only...
Well, I've gone and stumped myself. I have no clue what this coin is. Its about 29mm x 24 mm. Appears to read LIBERTAS 164[0?] on one side, some...
