Beautiful Faustina, Thierry, (and a good picture too!)
Thank you all for your comments. Much appreciated. Yes, both 1799 and 1804 are considered scarce dates. As I mentioned, the total population of...
As mentioned, there are just too many good restaurants in Lima, but one that I really like (even if it is not in the top 10) is Jose Antonio. They...
I finally got around to taking decent pictures of my 1804 cent. There is only one die variety for the cents of 1804, Sheldon 266. Sheldon 266 is...

Congratulations, Andrew, in obtaining a coin for your collection that means so much to you!:). Very nice. (I guess it is similar with me with...

It is done - my set of the coins of 1795 is as complete as I could hope to achieve. The Gold is missing, of course, but it comprises the major...
I do like your new bronze, David. A serene, subdued portrait and nice patina. This is my example of the type - a very different portrait style:...
I spend a lot of time in the "Light Side" too (I confess I really like early U.S coins, specially early copper). However, I do wish there was a...
Saw this denarius of Hadrian with galley reverse and had to have it. (there goes my "ancients budget" for October....) It has a rather...
