For some reason, these have never really appealed to me all that much as a type, but I used to say that about the Pantakapaion AEs and ended up...
Charming portrait on the coin in the OP. I like his Mona Lisa smile.
Sounds like you have a coin with the last digit in the date missing? This could happen for a number of reasons, including a grease-filled die, or...
I intend to spend all day in Michael Swoveland (@Aethelred's) coin shop, WNC Coins, on Monday, June 24th. [IMG] The address is: 1987-C...

Ah! Splendid. @TeddyGO- please post here when you get your goodies, and don't be a stranger! ;)
Spain. [IMG] Next, 69 AD.
Good thing I took it philosophically, huh. I felt worse when I had the chance to go detecting at an old plantation site with a friend, called out...
Turkey (Seljuks of Rûm): silver dirham of Kaykhusraw II; lion & sun, AH 638 (1240-1241) [IMG] Since that's actually medieval and not truly...
