(Serious post, no winky emoji) I can agree with your statement there. Ancients are fun in all types and states of preservation. I strongly...
Seleucid. Antiochus the Ninety-Eighth, perhaps? ;) (Seriously, dunno. I like Seleucid stuff, but at this stage of my development, the rulers...
Smoother surfaces. Likely a bit tastier. But yes, the resemblance is otherwise uncanny. I wonder if that one is listed in Zhengnor.
You must be reading from the 26th edition of Zhengnor there. It mentions the forgeries but was published before the Sfagnaruu Hoard was...
You weren't getting several jokes. ;) My serious replies were further on. Posts #11 & 12. See @dougsmit's post for the most serious...
Well, at least it looks better than that one. ;) (But the "gun" stain on that '67 is pretty funny. )
Meiji dragon yen? Check! Caballito peso? Very high on my to-do list!
Just acquired this morning, in a swap with @nencoin (Northeast Numismatics.) I've wanted a Niobe medal since I first saw one. Fell in love with...

Oh! I just remembered I have one ancient I've never shown before, thanks to a kind gift from @kazuma78. @Curtisimo- LMK if you don't already...
If it's not noticeably hairlined (that obverse doesn't look so bad, for a circulation find), then it should be worth whatever any comparable proof...
Neato. I briefly thought about a Jersey collection when I saw they make albums for them. (Pricey albums, to be sure, but quite handsome, and...
As to electrolysis, it could be a good candidate for that, but I would counsel caution there, and recommend checking it often. The first US large...
Hm. Wasn't obvious to me at all. Any bearded portrait there I saw (and I didn't), I would have simply put down to my own pareidolia. Good idea...
I say G6. Minor surface issues, but not awful, and market-acceptable for the grade, IMHO. No such thing as a "G8". An 8 on the Sheldon scale...

Nicely done, sir. You must be working from the 23rd edition.
