I like the medal (I also have a thing for cornucopias) but have no idea what it might be. Some of the silver medals from that period trade for...
Yep, Facebook sure does have auctions. You have to get invited by someone into a group that runs them. People post coins that they're interesting...
I've almost given up on buying things from flea markets and antique shops. The junk:value ratio is off the charts. As a seller - maybe? It...
Can't really tell about the doubled S due to the low photo quality. If you can take a closeup of the mint mark in a well lit room without flash,...
I'm a big believer in "buy the coin, not the slab". I don't pay any kind of premium for the older holders, except when I'm on the fence about the...
I don't think it's an altered date, gold plated 1896 piece. You didn't follow the link at all, did you? This coin was made in 1898 in gold as a...
I recently came across something completely beyond my expectations. There were only 215 of these minted, & only 32 (possibly now 33) are known...
Coin #14 Another Hungarian denar with a partial date. Ending in "squiggle squiggle 3", I'm going with 1623 based on the FER (II presumably) and...
I'd budget in more than just bulletproof glass for security. An approved-pass entry system would be a good start (ie; buzzing people in), as well...
Coin #13 Another Hungarian denar with some details. There's a hole punch right through the date 16( )7, but I think the lack of a crown over the...
Coin #12 Another Hungarian denar with some details. Oddly, it seems to have FERII instead of FERIII. Diameter: ~13mm Country of origin: Hungary...
Coin #11 Another Hungarian denar with some details. Date and monarch's name both are tough to make out. Diameter: ~15mm Country of origin:...
Coin #10 Something took a bite out of this coin, clipping the date after 16... The partial legend mentions FERDII (Ferdinand the 2nd) though,...
Coin #9 One of the nicer coins in the group... on the obverse. The reverse has been decimated by time (and, coincidentally, is where the date...
Coin #8 Some rough edges, but maybe enough lettering to nail down a type (or even a date) Diameter: ~15mm Country of origin: Hungary...
Coin #7 I don't have much hope on ID'ing this one either. See, I did try to group these by design. This group is the "maybe that's a coin?"...
Coin #6 I don't have much hope on ID'ing this one. About a quarter of the legend around the rim is readable one one side though. Diameter: ~15mm...
Coin #5 A well centered piece, with what may be a straight-on face on one side and a crest inside a inner ring. Diameter: ~16mm Country of...
Coin #4 Diameter: ~18.5mm Country of origin: ? Denomination: 3 kreuzer? Year: ? Composition: ?
Coin #3 Diameter: ~19mm Country of origin: ? Denomination: 3 kreuzer? Year: ? Composition: ?
