Too thin for Greek, no legends so not Roman. The thinness of the flan suggests medieval. No Islamic writing so suggests its pre-Islamic or...
Nah man. Try going to Thailand or Columbia or Saudi Arabia. You will find the sun in Florida is a nice furry little kitten compared to those...
It was in MN. Plenty of product to sell, just a high premium IMHO. Probably why they had plenty of stock. Even stuff for my son like modern silver...
I agree. It usually happens, premiums run high when silver goes down until new supply overruns demand and prices forced down. I was at a show...
I know a guy who has an Eide Mar denarius, the most desired ancient coin there is. To American collectors, its the equivalent of an 1894s dime or...
As a further update to this topic, yesterday I was in a small MN town, population maybe 4,000. They had an antique mall with coins advertised so I...

Looks like another morgan dinged it. It looks like reed marks. Some more by the E and between the R and T. So, therefor, pmd.
