Thanks. (I actually thought your MA reverse was better, because you can see the individual tail feathers. But, hey, it's not a competition. For...
It does look like Type 2, and Goldsborough makes clear that it's an authentic type, but that (along with Type 1) it's one of the types that the...
I like the design. Great condition, too.
Did you compare it to the photos of fakes (and genuine types) at the links I provided earlier in this thread? I don't have the time to do it for...
That's really a lovely story. How fortunate that your friend kept the coins all those years instead of reselling them. Also, I think both coins...
I find the sceattas all very interesting to look at, even though I know absolutely nothing about them. But my favorite is the nomos from Tarentum....
@Ryro, isn't this the guy who'd been claiming that Hugo Chavez switched his nickel?
They're all very cool for historical and numismatic reasons, but my three personal favorites are #'s 3, 6, and 9: the Creperius with the two...
These are wonderful, @robinjojo. My favorites are the beautiful Septimius Severus tetradrachm, and the Trajan tridrachm with the Zeus/Baal...

Thank you. That makes sense to do, instead of trying to decide whether it represented 1/4 or 1/12 or some other specific fraction. When people...
That's a very beautiful example. And the 5+4 to avoid "death" is special even apart from the coin's quality.
I think that's a bit hyperbolic, @dougsmit! Just scrolling down the results on acsearch, it seems to me that this person's coins -- and there are...
Thanks!
I see Tyche's basket clearly on your coin.
Do you have a photo? It's difficult to comment in the abstract.
You have a very nice aunt!
Thanks. That was my second thought after the giant grapes! But if you zoom in as much as possible on the top of the object on mine, I think you'll...
Very confusing. I'm surprised Abbot and Costello didn't make a routine about it. The radio and TV ratings might not have been great, though.
I've had this coin for a little while, but didn't really know that much about it until I read two very excellent threads on such coins from last...
