Great design.
Those Spanish maravedis with the counterstamps are cool, and often come with sandy patinas like your Roman has. Yours is the first I can recall...
Nice result.
How the blazes does anyone ever tell? I see some straight lines in this image that to me are indicative of human interaction with the metal,...
Yep. The 1968 "no S" dime that's worthwhile is the proof. This coin you posted here is a regular business strike dime made at Philadelphia, so...

Ha! I knew that name rang a bell, for some reason! Thanks! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Crusader States (Lusignan Kingdom of Cyprus): silver gros petit of...
History is certainly written by the winners (or those who get the last word, anyway). Once an era passes from living memory, all we're left with...
I've had a few of those. Hey, folks, you've gotta stick around after the contest to see if you've won, or at least check in periodically! I do...
