Congrats & a wonderful piece of research & writeup. A tetradrachm by Lysimachous was perhaps the 1st major coin that I bought upon finishing...
Actually it was an 1892 Barber in slabbed (PCGS or NGC) 63. Bought sometime around 1992 for ~$900. Not bought 63 years ago: sorry. Not a pretty...
Not fond of EBay questions. I gather it's a raw 93-S on the Bay, so it probably won't straight grade.
I voted MS-64 but it could be somewhere between a 64 & 65. I owned an 1892 in 63 years ago and it was quite ugly compared to this.
I have a late AE trashy but haven't photographed it. I'll do so and post it here. Thanks for an excellent article, I'll follow this thread.
Certainly. Actually I got it in 2019: not exactly recently? [ATTACH] Claudius II Gothicus, 268-270. Denarius (Orichalcum, 17 mm, 3.64 g, 12 h),...
I'll be visiting the British Museum and will hopefully have the opportunity to see some of the non-displayed Roman coins in their archives. I'm...
One of my more recent Imperial denarii was one of Claudius II (268-270 AD). This one isn't silver but purely bronze. I got it as I wanted to...
What I call nice and what a coin dealer would call nice have traditionally proven to be quite different. I really don't like the bother of...
Very nice. I was actually seeking to make a 2 oz silver commemorative coin but am not an engraver, nor do I have the time to become one. Would...
I think this is also an As.
Thanks very much Curtis! I will correct my attribution. This also reconciles with what I paid for it. I recall $950 was my winning bid. It...
Hey my portrait Aes of Julius Caesar is ex-NFA. Only I don't have the auction date or number. I do have the old NFA tag, it's lot 1085, ca....
Well I still can't afford even the 1795 half-dollar let alone a Draped Bust/ Small Eagle. A friend of mine came up with an interesting way of...
Well this one definitely has both eyes. It amazing that they apparently had such difficulty in making these things 1500 years after Rome was able...
Yes, I had forgotten Ed VI. Thats a very nice specimen although I'm not familiar enough with the population of Edward VI shillings to know...
This is of much interest to me. I have my own hobbyist website of Ancient coins and those of the Early Independent Latin American Nations....
relatively happy as I got several coins this year. A big number is about 5 or 6 of them.
A very nice coin. I was looking for one (P.R. 5 Pesetas) and a friend of mine had a high grade one. Unfortunately, he took his whole collection...
Beautiful. Aside from the testoon of Henry 8th, I think this is the earliest shilling one can get? I've never seen one in such nice shape as...
