Arcadius AE2, GLORIA ROMANORVM; emperor holding globe. (If you point out that it's not a deity, you've got me on a technicality.) Yes, this coin...
This is a very valid point!
If it is a fake, it would have fooled me. That's not saying very much, however. I have owned a grand total of two ever.
I think rather than destroying fakes, they should just get countermarked with the COPY stamp. This way they could still be kept and examined but...
It's only money. But I won't say I didn't have some gastric butterflies for a day or two there.
Ah! Splendid. @TeddyGO- please post here when you get your goodies, and don't be a stranger! ;)
Spain. [IMG] Next, 69 AD.
Good thing I took it philosophically, huh. I felt worse when I had the chance to go detecting at an old plantation site with a friend, called out...
Turkey (Seljuks of Rûm): silver dirham of Kaykhusraw II; lion & sun, AH 638 (1240-1241) [IMG] Since that's actually medieval and not truly...

Agreed. I seldom have my actual coins out in front of me anymore, and mostly view them on a monitor. This is kind of strange, but it works for...
I totally missed that dashboard wiener. Guess that disqualifies me as a potential Wienermobile driver. Bummer.
Daaang, that is one monster of a V-nick! Irrespective of any marks and how they might have affected the technical grade, that pastel target...
It's worth one cent to me regardless, due to my complete lack of interest in such things. OK, it's got Red luster. I'll go a nickel on it.
Nice result! I was about to guess 55.
All good stuff offsite, in safe deposit. Break into my house, and you won't even get a TV or computer right now. (We just use our phones)....
At best. But I'd still rather look at this kind of "junk coin" than a lot of the damaged modern junk that gets posted as "errors" on that forum....
Ditto. Not a gun person, either, but I like the ornamentation on some antique pieces. Only gun I've ever owned was an old Iver Johnson .38,...
