I recognize a lot of them, kissi penny, manilas,tiger tongues, etc. You wouldn't have gotten that lot for 90 pounds if I had been in the room! :)
Typically around $80 for such specimens. They aren't as popular as the Chieng money because they don't have writing on them.
Its neither. Its Tok money from Chieng Sen. The weight is on the high side, but otherwise looks fine. They are not sure what caused the reddish...
I am very sad to hear someone has passed away. This is always a tragedy for a family, and my prayers go out for them personally. I will mourn for...
While funny, I think it was great the French produced this medal. We do owe them a debt of gratitude. Some argue we paid them back in WWI and 2,...
Centsles huh? And who says there is no truth in advertising?
I would say it looks like album toned even if you didn't say so sir. Obverse colorful, reverse white until edges started toning. I have personally...
I am with most here. I don't care if someone who does not wish to educate themselves wants to buy a slabbed ancient. It's their right. I have...
Really nice writeup sir. I am younger but also hoping that my sons when they grow up develop a love for coins. My coins don't mean anything in...
My main issues would be: 1. For history, they can tell the truth just as easy as lies. Why not just better fact checkers? 2. If they are going to...
The aluminum ore was always there. We knew it was one of the most common metals on earth. The problem was the aluminum would not release from the...
I have never seen an episode concerning ancients that weren't completely filled with errors, inaccuracies, and sometimes just complete BS. If...
Spectacular specimen. Thanks for the writeup, I had always wondered what was being referenced by these ancient disco-maniacs.
That could be. I was simply responding to the coin in the photo sir. I don't think, since we are on the internet, we consider this point enough....
I have to say that I just got satellite last week and have been able to watch a little of Barry Chappell's show. Wow, what a POS is all that...
I doubt its Gallus as the portrait does not have his typical look. He always had a really weird portrait on coins, I kind of hope he didn't...
I agree with most here, its better to identify the coin. Any test for silver could be ruinous for copper, so just "testing" if its silver could be...
Lots and lots and LOTS of thieves in the PM arena. One must research and understand exactly what they are doing to survive here unfortunately.
I like the other two, but it looks to me that the 25 needs a quick dip. While I agree its original, I simply find the toning to be too...
Ok, just put in the law the CCACC is only allowed, at maximum, to authorize two commemorative coins a year. For the mint, I would give the mint...
