Okay, now I understand. You were looking @ two or more Bust halves both dated 1812. A very historic year and important for that reason as well as...
Yes in the early days Banks use to transport specie in the form of US Bust Halves since dollars were not minted for circulation since 1803. Still...
I've always loved these coins as they came out just a little before I started collecting coins. In fact my only one bought from the US Gov't was...
Very nice. The 2nd one appears to have some silvering at the periphery.
That's nothing... I almost found a proof 1942 Walking Half 2 weeks ago but was outbid at the last moment!
I should mention that the book on Julian by Gore Vidal is highly recommended by me. It is historical fiction but apparently well researched and...

Excellent article and a real stunning AE1 (Nummis?) of Julian. I've never heard of one which was silvered nor seen one quite as nice as yours....

That 1st auction put me on notice as I have a particular interest in late Roman. When Leu had a sale in late 2020 with a lot of those items again...
Well I don't know, I think you should get these all slabbed. That would also deter further corrosion. Late in 2020 I received a groat or...

Thanks very much. Maybe they'll have some multiple talers there?
Startling new information on the above plague taler. The snake shown is Nehushtan (Hebrew) the derogatory name given to the bronze or brass...
They always say to buy the book 1st which I never did. I was always worried that the coins I was chasing would rise in price too fast and if I...
Yes I know what you mean. Recently I've also tried to buy some USA coins which I'd given up collecting 20 years ago in order to collect certain...
I'm always interested in threads trying to predict the future of coin collecting and have followed many threads on this site for that. I can...
I'm going to definitely change the background of my late Roman page to this after your comment. Painted in 1883 yet so classical it's called "The...
Stone the Blasphmemer!!!! I love late Roman. Normally I like variety and I'll admit that late Roman coinage is somewhat more uniform as they were...
And a taler for today's times... 1528 Bohemian Plague (Pest) Taler [ATTACH] Erzgebirge. "Pest" Taler 1528, Joachimsthal mint, engraved by...
