Yep, it's a fake "pirate treasure" coin. The design is similar to the one used on my (real) Bolivian "cob" type 1694 1-real piece, which is a...
Speaking of the South Sea Bubble, I had a South Sea shilling. :) [IMG]
Happy belated quinquennium, @TIF! This was posted sometime around the start of my hiatus, so I missed it. The neckbearded, Rickrolling Gallienus...
Thanks. I've been wanting another DB half for a while, but only one with that contrasting "antique patina" (what I call "CircCam" contrast). You...
That little silver fourpence (also known as a "groat") is a type which was issued mostly for use in the colonies like British Guiana, but also...
This gold solidus of the Eastern Roman emperor Zeno (holed in antiquity) was once the centerpiece of my "Holey Gold Hat", which topped off my...
Last night I had a dream that I was flying to Africa on a big, wide cargo plane like a C-130. It had been retrofitted into a passenger plane with...
I'd say you could arguably value it at 10-25 cents since it's Mint State with most of the original red. Realistically, you'd have a hard time...
VF35 to XF40, cleaned, though I don't know whether the cleaning was deemed "market acceptable" enough for it to have gotten a pass (i.e., received...

That might help somebody. It's still beyond my ability to figure out. Yeah, you've got old dirt in there, but maybe there's something else going...
Thanks. It's a penny, then. There are a bunch of varieties, it turns out. Look for traces of various overdates. I can't really tell from the...
What is the diameter? We have to determine if it is a halfpenny or a penny, which is difficult without any sense of scale in the photos.
Sure, it's real. I don't see much color except the original red, which is nice enough. It is a very common coin, even in Mint State, but yes,...
PS- speaking of Hadrian, and fondling "nekkid" coins, I had the pleasure of owning this one for a while. It came from @AncientJoe and went to...
Too late! :nailbiting: Heehee. ;):rolleyes: [IMG] In my defense, I will say as before that if I collected only Ancients, they would be...
Wow! Nicely done.
Elagabalus AE17 of Antioch. A recent inexpensive purchase. [ATTACH] I understand that Antioch was where the Holy Hand Grenade was...
