That is an interesting idea - something else to try!
I tried a few with a black background, but they turned out really bad. I was not able to find a dark black, matte, non-reflective background so...
A few more, a couple with a red background: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Some group pictures I took years ago of some of my early coppers. The color and definition are as good as I could achieve with my low-tech,...
It's is an interesting question you are asking, Marshall: what is the value of that S-39? It is a very rare cent, no question about that. It has...
Marshall, may I ask: are you are member of EAC? I am sure members there would like to know about this new discovery.
Congratulations, Marshall! Well deserved recognition for the expertise (and perseverance) you have so often demonstrated in the area of large...
Thank you for posting you Venus denarius, TTerrier, and for the discussion on the dating. I confess I have never paid much attention to the dating...
Well done, CBD! I hope to cherry-pick one of these one day.

Following a specific theme may be an idea for a German Taler collection. One theme that I like are the city-view Talers. Coinage portraying views...
Great find! Interesting how Galba denarii are almost never found. I found 2 Vitellius but never a Galba, either.
I can let you have my 2016 AKS (31. Auflage) if you want (free of course). I have the 2018, but frankly, not much difference as prices really do...
I wish you lots of fun with Talers! German coinage from the 1800's in general was my first collecting passion, and I still have quite a number of...
I forgot to mention the 'Standard catalogue of German Coins', 1501- Present, compiled by N.D Nicol. Published by KP (?). This is a very...
Hi Brandon, I collect German coin of the late 1700's and into 1870. For this area I highly recommend the following catalogues: 1. Deutscher...
That makes three already...
interesting you post that 1837 half. I have wondered the same about this 1837 half I have. Notice how the obverse edge and denticles are quite...
Thank you Paddy !
