I think it much more likely that this is a denarius, probably RIC 377. See here. There are, however, quinarii of S. Severus, but I do not see...
It appears Becky is right. This is the only decent image I could find of an 06 S peso online, graded by NGC....
As far as numismatics, I got six rolls of nickels (two 1950's dates - it was a was). Outside of that, I was given the deed to one square foot...
I have a worn as of Emperor Claudius. I think its a Minerva type, but the reverse is demolished, so I can't tell. It was already nice and smooth...
I dunno... I've heard some tales. Corroded, holed coins rising from their graves to consume the brains of the living. Or were those zombies?...
pure distilled water and lemon juice soaks are the best for cleaning ancient silver. If its particularly high quality, acetone works well. (You...
Looks like a flying monkey from the Wizard of Oz on the reverse. :-D
Around what date? I'm sure there have been various 5 guilder coins over the years.
Read his quotes, it should explain a thing or two about his personality! I blame it on the anonimity provided by the internet....
I'm sorry to hear this all. I'm (barely) a YN myself. I've ran into a few problems like this at flea markets and such. Not nearly as bad as this,...
WHOA! I completely forgot that the 06 S was a key date! (and I say I specialize in the series, LOL). In that case, it is probably worth well, well...
I only have one rose farthing. These are kinda interesting pieces, largely because of the way they were struck. Instead of being cut from sheets...
Barber was the last name of the designer. Liberty does look like a barber on those, come to think of it! I'm one to talk - some of my emperors...
I didn't realize that the Liberty on the obverse was even female for a couple of years :goofer:
Well, I was supposed to. Then I ended up paying for them myself... so I guess not. But I am hoping for some cash to take to the New York...
I love the cameo effect you gave the Kalamazoo piece. Such artistic cleaning is something that is often desired on ancient coins.
Very nice piece. I see no wear on the high points of the reverse (which has a beautiful strike as well!). Would you be able to get a clear picture...
Us? Not interested in coins? That'll be the day! :high5:
In general, all are very common coins, and not worth too much. The silver ones (the smaller of the threepence, and the sixpence) are worth at...
Very, very strong teeth. :cool:
Separate names with a comma.
