Well, no. Travel _forward_ in time doesn't damage items, as that is the normal direction they should travel anyway; it's only when objects are...
The scratch on the back of my left hand was starting to hurt. Hope it doesn't get infected, I thought to myself, followed by, Why didn't I bring...
Too bad about the scratches, otherwise a nice example of a very beautiful design. I own a well-circulated example, my only problem was falling in...
Correction: #5 is indeed of Guangxu (1875-1908) and not Xuantong because I can't read. Stupid brain! :yack:
All your coins are Qing dynasty. My tentative IDs (emperor IDs are solid, mint for #2 not so much): 1. Jiaqing (1796-1820), mint of Baoding in...
Marcus Aurelius would be my vote for most personally admirable, a true philosopher-emperor. His only flaw would be leaving the empire to his...
#4: I have a couple of Taiping coins that I bought from Frank Robinson, who I trust to distinguish fakes, and they show similar crudeness to your...
There was a Bollywood movie made of the romance between Akbar and Jodhaa, called appropriately enough "Jodhaa Akbar". In this scene, Jalal ad-Din...
Some day I may get tired of posting my Julius Caesar lifetime denarius, minted January/February 44 BC, ex- @Sallent collection... but that day is...

The obverse die is definitely Fuld 28- that's the only one of this type with ES at the base. In my copy of Fuld, the only reverse listed as...
Very nice OP coin, and it gives me an excuse to post my JC portrait coin again: [ATTACH] Prices have definitely been heading up in the last few...
Thanks to everyone who was part of the contest this year, I had fun again participating even if I didn't manage to fool that many people. What I...
Thailand, 1 baht, copper-nickel. Not sure of the year, but I think they use the Buddhist era.
@furryfrog02 is correct, it's a Chinese "cash" coin from the reign of the Qianlong emperor (1736-95), from the Board of Works mint in Beijing....
Looks like a lot of people are assigning this coin to me by default. As my idol Homer Simpson said, "De-fault! The two sweetest words in the...
All right, how about a nice string of patricide, rebellion, and incest, Parthian-style? ;) Let's start with Phraates III (c.70-57 BC). He was...
The last two coins are indeed from the Guang Xu emperor (1875-1908), from the Guangzhou mint in Guangdong province. Interestingly, these are...
Well, as Homer Simpson once said, "You can use facts to prove anything that's remotely true." The facts you cite prove that the coin is mine, and...
I guess this could be one of mine: I'm not afraid of worn coins, as I've stated before I started out with $3 and $5 LRBs from a local coin...
