Thanks for the write-up. Although I've seen nicer denarii serrata, you've provided the best writeup I've ever seen and thanks for the link to the...
I always thought a shilling was 12 pence. This one says "6 Pence" on the reverse.
I just bought a pair of 4 reals that would fit in this thread. I posted it in "my latest world coin" thread....
Just acquired last week or so. These are Ecudaorian Two Hills 4 reals, the largest denomination of the type made. I already had the 1841 so...
Women who collect silver trimes or even know about silver trimes must be 0.001% of the female dating population.
If you are super-good with math, when you get older, no girls will ever want to be close to you as you'll be considered a NERD!!!
So this is your specimen? Nice find if so. I'm not sure why they'd issue a florin in gold.
I don't know. I could be conservative but it appears to have too much luster breaks on the cheek for those grades.

I lived in Philadelphia and was a young coin collector when they were issued. I did my best to circulate them. Once I had a Dr's appointment....
Not a nickel specialist: but then again these aren't really nickels. I'll go for MS-65 to be safe.
Thanks so much. I don't have all the Davenport books so I thought I'd ask here rather than attempting to research it. Surprisingly, this is a...
Very nice. You won't find such in the major auctions although 65 is a preety high grade. Also 1926 is a less-common date.
I ran across the following article showing photos of 5 talers. While not an expert on Austrian talers, I was wondering if the center coin was a...
Thanks, the other coin I did not post as I don't have a picture of it. I somehow suspect that Roma isn't going to provide me with one but I'll...
A number of prominent numismatists I talked to questioned the ethics of their not coming to an arrangement with me. I've would've been quite...
I'd like to mention an interesting article that appeared in Time, written by Edward Watts, entitled "Rome Didnt Fall When You Thought It Did", Oct...
