Picked this up in a dealer's half price bin at the Houston Money Show last weekend. Almost didn't even check my Cherrypicker's Guide before...
I cherry picked one that was up for auction with poor pictures. I could make out that the hair was of the "Reverse of 1907-1921" mule, but...
Thanks for all the great suggestions for horsebacked / spear wielding ancients. For a similar theme, I also picked up a Magnentius AE24mm follis...
The motif of a horseback rider wielding a sword over his shoulder seems pretty widespread. I wonder though - which was more likely to be used in...
In trying to ID the variety, I'm having some trouble understanding the tail feather distinctions. Can anyone explain that to me? One thing I...

I have metal punch dies & label them "COPY" before giving them to local coin clubs, dealers, pawn shops, & bullion buyers as warnings of what to...

For a while now, I've been seeing banner ads for wildly underpriced coins that are obvious fakes. I've tried reporting them, flagging them for...
This, perhaps? Number N# 160881 References Br# 1273, Diakov# 367.1, Slg.Julius# 2698 From Numista (can't post the link for some reason)
Does the slab label have any kind of reference code?
