It's an interesting theme idea. A lot of modern NCLT (non-circulating legal tender) commemoratives include Americans on them. JFK must be on...
Impressive and handsome set! I have only two from the 12th century. Sicily (Norman Kings): gold tari of Guglielmo I ("William the Bad"), ca....
Indeed. When I saw this was gonna be a panzerman series, I thought, "uh-oh- buckle yer seatbelts, folks! This is gonna be a wild ride!"
PS- Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you're way off there. By 60 to 62 points! After 44 years of collecting and nearly 20 years on the...
There's the possibility that there might be traces of old lacquer on there. Old-school collectors sometimes lacquered their copper and bronze...
Thank you for the detailed reply. I feel I’m getting more out of this particular giveaway, in the sense that I enjoy hearing what people find...
The Augustus/Octavia cistophoric tet is what jumped off the screen and hit me in the eye first, but I liked the RR denarii too, particularly the...
#1 (Tarentum) knocks my sox off. Purely from the eye appeal standpoint, I reckon that one’s the pick of the litter for me. #2 (Metapontum) -...
JC denarius! Hadrian aureus! Charles II elephant double-guinea! Everything else! Wow, wow, WOW!!!

I’d be pleased to own any of these, but #10 (Herennia Etruscilla), #7 (Divus Marcus Aurelius), and #1 (the group lot) were the standouts for me....
Wow! Old school provenance!
[MEDIA] Sorry. It just popped into my head. ;) Here’s another Brooklyn-related song that’s more my speed these days. (Seasonally appropriate,...
This lion has a longish tail. Next: someone else riding a potentially dangerous beastie (or in a wheeled conveyance drawn by same). [ATTACH]
I like snow scenes, too. We only get it here once ever 20-25 years or so. I don’t miss driving in it when I lived in the NC mountains, though.
@Mammothtooth - I got your private message and could read it but not reply. Check your settings so you can make sure you’re allowing replies to...
Wow. Y’all make me glad to be a Southerner! But come July-August, when our temps climb to oven-like and the Great Outdoors here becomes one...
BTW, It is 68 degrees Fahrenheit in the Golden Isles of Georgia right now, and I’m slouching around comfortably on the back steps in my ratty...
