Lithuania (under Polish rule, so you may play from the modern borders of either Lithuania or Poland) [IMG]
I see a regular 2009-D cent with a fingerprint and a bunch of inexplicable blue flecks. Extra what? Blue flecks? Well, yes. It does have those.
That 1794 Lima/BoE dollar is awesome. "The head of a fool on the neck of an ass". I'd like one someday. Never had one.
I exclusively use PCGS for all of my medieval and later coins. (NGC does get my ancients.) It is mostly a matter of personal preference, though...
OK, @Muzyck - I will blame this on you. You made me do this. ;) https://www.pcgs.com/cert/38594734 [IMG] We now return to our previously...
Ex-, alas. 'Tis another "bygone". Click here and wait for the slow page load if you want to see the rest of my "bygones" from the last six or...
Until looking at that map just now, I didn't realize their empire extended so far east. I typically imagined the Seleucids as a more Levantine...
The thought about life expectancy did occur to me. When I was younger, I had that extremely acute vision (could see the VDB initials under the...
I voted a 9 in the poll. Ask me again next week and it could be a 10. My opinions of my own coins often fluctuate between 8, 9, and 10 in these...

Aladdin's Castle sure must've cranked those arcade tokens out by the tens of millions at least, I would imagine. One always seems to turn up in...

That gives all sorts of articles about inflation, not miniature coins. But I suppose maybe these sets of miniature novelty coins might have been...
Yes, those are cool, but no, this piece is just one of those miniature novelty coins like I posted in the previous post. The molecularly altered...

Agnus Dei motif with vexillum. ("Lamb of God with a banner", in other words. But yeah, it does kinda look like "leopard with a flag" there.) .
Guess we can count that as a "skyscape". Love the pelican. Since that tilts our "landscape-seascape" axis somewhat skywards, let's have "sun,...
My thoughts exactly. It got me to wondering what sort of lenses they might have had, to see such tiny things. Maybe the engraving was a younger...
I think it has just about everything one might want, except that it's a teeny-tiny little thing. But that fact gives it a sort of Lilliputian...
I just made an offer on a PCGS MS63 BN. It's not the full head Maori type, but it's pretty cool. Stand by. I'll likely have joined the Kiwi...
