These are lovely coins, even with the bad strikes. Here is mine (or a Bulgarian imitation?): [ATTACH] Isaac II Angelus Billon Aspron Trachy...
Every once in a while I get a Severus Alexander denarius in a lot that looks like the OP. I am not sure if they are fourree cores or just low...
Thank you, Victor! I appreciate it.
Nice piece! I believe that's the last of the sterling (.925) British shillings. Over the years I've accumulated quite a few jewelry pieces,...
Just in from eBay Europe, my first piece of ancient coin jewelry. A Constantine I (the Great) AE 18 with a VOT XX reverse mounted in a silver (?)...
I've always liked European crowns of the Latin Monetary Union standard - 25 grams of .900 silver. These would be mostly from France, Italy,...
For what it's worth, I think the cleaned version looks better. I'm not seeing "fake" so much as "cleaned." Nice job.

I've been carrying around pocket pieces for years, world crowns and silver dollars mostly, sometimes a big AE. It varies. In order to keep...

A very nice job on an interesting coin. Köpfchen! I learn a word every day.
Thank you for the informative write-up. Any excuse to post my only Caracalla sestertius - Asclepius and Telesphorus on the reverse: [ATTACH]...
I am impressed! Nice work.
Thanks Donna - I like a fresh set of eyes on this low-grade stuff - it can really help. I think the tail on mine is skinnier than a wolf tail? I...
