Thankfully they are fairly common. In demand, yes, but availability is pretty high. I have gotten two of them in group lots over the years. Cool...
If it is authentic, (and I doubt), it would have to be a local imitation as I have never seen anything like that reverse on a Byzantine coin. I...
Don't have a picture here. I wrote a couple of years ago the Incans copied the Azteca, but I was wrong. I now believe the Aztecs copied the...
1000% agree sir. I have read the same. I am actually torn about the origins of Indian numismatics. I know it was introduced fairly early though...
US coins forum is only that. Coin chat can be about any coin from any country or any era. I find it helpful when discussing attributes of coins,...

Yes sir, sorry. I was typing from memory at airport. Nice store, but like most 99% US coins. I just wanted to post to keep trying, check out US...

They regularly take fakes and put them in cattle dung etc for a year or two to develop crusty toning to fool buyers. Very common to look like...
What is your opinion of the OP coin sir? You were one of the experts in these I would hope would answer, since your opinion is way more informed...
