Hi, Derick, nice to hear from you. Yes, it seems to be quite rare, at least as far as recorded sales is concerned. Actually it was my son who...
I recently added this coin to my collection. It is a Louis d'or issued in 1790 for the french king Louis XVI at Montpellier (mint N). Louis XVI...
Nice coin, well defined and quite attractive. Congratulations. Certainly more appealing than the example I purchased a little while ago.
2013 was a slow year for me concerning additions to my federal copper collection. I only found these 3 during the year: 1803 S-265, 1806, and...
Nice coin, Chris! I am hoping Santa Clause makes a stop by my house tonight on his way to the north pole.

This one commemorates Verus' early death whilst on a campaign against the Marcomannen (germanic tribe) in the northern frontier. Interestingly, my...
Like that Sestertius, Steve. How may one say, 'expressive' portrait?
One of my better coins for Verus . Lucius Verus 161-169 ad. Sestertius, Rome 163-164 ad. RIC 1409 Victoria holding military trophy, Armenian at...
I am very glad to hear you are better, Marshall. PLEASE take care of yourself .
