That's a stunner. The portrait really got me.
@dougsmit - I find the toning on that first one quite appealing.
I was just weighing the purchase of two separate Roman coins; one a denarius and the other a siliqua. I decided to wait a bit and come here to...
Pure epic win in that category, then!
I think that's the guy I got my EID MAR denarius on the oversized flan from. [IMG]
That's an unusual one! Fiber? Which of the Allied nations issued it?
PPS- did you find that coin roll hunting? If so, that there is nothing but pure win, regardless of the condition!
PS- I'd soak it in mineral oil for a while and then work on it a bit with a soft toothbrush, to see if some of the crud will come off. A little...

If all the abbreviations and acronyms in the title were too much, just see the picture(s). ;) Browning-10, R3, I've been told. Ex-DLRC. Sell...
PCGS called this one "XF details, filed rims" and then NGC wouldn't grade it after I cracked it out and sent it to them. ("Ineligible type" or...
It doesn't look badly clipped to me.
Thanks. It's a frosty one. First time I've ever gotten a 70 on something I submitted myself. As with some of the other moderns, I spent more on...
Interesting piece. Made into a button at one time, obviously. My thoughts? I do think it's contemporary, from the early 1800s. Was it a...
Separate names with a comma.
