I like that Republican piece.
It is indeed beautiful, but it's not a coin. That's a silver round. There are, however, Mexican coins with Aztec calendar motifs.
I don't have Dionysus, I'm afraid. How about a double kantharos? You can put your favorite beverage in one, and I'll put mine in the other....
Hmmm... tough call. On the one hand, it's rather rough. Not absolutely awful, however. And on the other hand, it's a neat type. I really like...
Usually you see those reeding marks on bigger, heavier coins, like silver dollars. But I guess it does happen on quarters, too. Maybe if they're...
I think a lot of us have done that before. I know I have. You can retract and re-bid with the correct amount. The seller should understand.
I concur. It is a relatively modern cast replica intended to represent an ancient coin. It might be an old tourist fake, but not ancient. It's...
I dunno. Handsome coin, though. Probably my best cherrypickin' lick came from the crackout and resubmission of an old PCI green holder. It was...
^^ This. It took a hit, and the reeded edge of the coin it collided with created that pattern.
Nice "do-it-yourself Dansco". As you likely know, if you do buy a 7070 album, you won't need the Flowing Hair coins, and only the half cent and...
Doesn't look like a proof to me (though I'm not 100% sure). I'd say UNC, but heavily fingerprinted. Too bad, really, as the underlying luster is...
Welcome. Here's a free second entry for you. When the drawing comes around, if the random number generator hits this post (#123), you'll win,...
That 1822 was a super nice pickup for 15 bucks! The 1820/19, for the price, is also a good grab. Hope the treatment helps the verdigris.
Interesting. I had no idea there was such a thing as "affordable Ptolemaic gold".
Indeed. You could've shown those "barbarous" celators a thing or two! (*And hey, if you popped a few good hallucinogens, you might have even...
It is also possible I wasn't reading closely enough. :rolleyes: I do have other interests but focus on coins exclusively, so as not to dilute...
I have one watchlisted but I fear I will be unable to bid, for reasons of budgetary caution, and boring realities like "my old jalopy car has to...

If you engraved the mold from scratch with nothing more than a screwdriver, I am still very impressed with the results!
I love that you're preserving the findspot data.
