Cool! There is a 1 billion mark coin of the same design, but they sell for $$$. Here's my small, nearly weightless scrap of aluminum,...
I don't know if it holds true for modern coins, but I know for ancient coins, the obverse is defined as the anvil die, and the reverse the die...
No I didn't, that's really cool! Andrew Roberts' book is terrific. I read it not long ago, and it played a major role in developing my interest in...
Thanks! Yes it's also made me more aware of what a CNG coin might actually look like in hand versus their photo. I recently was bidding on a...
Yeah I agree. I'm not sure what happened to the rim but I've seen other francs that have the same sort of flattening.
Thanks! That would be right in line with what CNG thought.
Incidentally, I had toyed with the idea of sending this coin to a TPG. I don't think I will, but I would be curious to hear what you all think it...
Simply gorgeous. A video can show so much that a photo can't. By the way, thanks for featuring my post! My first and it's quite an honor! :)

Do it! And then show us what you got. ;)
Wow, that is a spectacular medal! :wideyed:
What do redwood trees, the interior of the Hagia Sophia, and my new coin have in common? Photos can’t do it justice. ;) Having recently taken an...
I don't care what the grade is, this is a wonderful specimen!
Lovely coins, @lordmarcovan! The portraits are very similar. A Gothic or Godless Florin is high on my wishlist, but I want one that is nicely...
Probably my biggest issue is getting my manually-adjusted focus just right. Can take a lot of twiddling around, taking a photo and then zooming up...
Fantastic! That's a beautiful coin!
Assuming these were consigned coins, they wouldn't have been property of the auction house. Maybe the AH thought they were going cheap enough that...
I bought this one mainly for the charming portrait and the attractively toned surfaces. Not an expensive purchase, but a happy one! :singing:...
Thanks! I've had a couple such denarii but have always ended up selling them.
Great set of coins! My favorites are #7 (Colombia 16 pesos), #3 (1670 halfpenny), and #2 (James I gold). Well done and congrats on a great year!
