Interesting randy, thanks for posting. As always, the HISTORY behind the coin is as interesting, if not more, than the coin itself. Domitian...
Moving on from copper onto silver. The year is 1801:
I would agree with Obv. 2 also. The difference between obv. 2 and 3 seems to be length and position of that little lock on top of the hair....
Those are nice coins. And you are right, the dancing elephants are quite endearing. (They remind me of the dancing elephants in the Dumbo...
My U.S coin collection breaks down approximately as follows: Pre 1800: 40% 1801-1870: 55% 1871-1964: 5% Post 1964: 0% I do not own any...
Well done Siberian man. You really have some coins from EVERY country. That is what a world collection is all about.
Auctions by the major auction houses ocassionally carry Spintriae (Spinks, Kuenker, Gorny & Mosch, Sothebys, Peus, NAC). Check which auctions are...
Nice collection you have there Mark. Nice to see it all together.
Time to bump this thread in case anybody wants to post their older US coins. Here are some more of mine: Massachusetts Cent 1788, and large...
Pre '64? Do you mean 1764, or 1864, or 1964? I ask because generally any coins post 16-17th century are considered modern - at least in world...
Nice shades of green, Randy! Amazing how many different tones of green roman bronzes come in.
I agree. Very informative, Marshall.
Thank you for your comments, Doug. This coin came along fairly inexpensively, so if it is a fake, it is not a tremendous loss. Having said that, I...
they must have been some pretty expensive beans then... I agree, $ 400 for a ground find Eborac is too much. My ANACS VF30 (with as-made...
I am almost certain your 1798 is a Sheldon 184. Low rarity 2. Described as having small chips at "RT", and at "7". And a die scratch from "CA"...
That is exactly correct. People who love and collect large cents are a different breed, in my opinion, from people who collect other series. We...
Ok, here is another hopefully better picture: It is rather unclear, but it reads (I think) "SMLD"
Thank you very much Ardatirion. I appreciate your comments and opinion. This is a coin I picked up at a small coin show, and I was a curious...
Here is an 1804 L1C, die state C with rim cuds on both sides. Different die state than gbroke's coin.
I was going to say. Yes, gbroke's 1804 L1C is pretty, and a scarce coin too. The picture is not too clear, but it seems to be die state a or b,...
