The reverse was ground off. You can see the toolmarks from the machinery or tool that did it. Bench grinder is my guess. You can see where they...
There are Domitian coins where he has that same sorta sleepy look, like Bolivar does here.
E-NE across the South Pacific to Peru. Might've played this one before, but if so, it's been a while. [IMG]
For the record, I voted like I would have if I didn't know the grade (in other words, what it looks like to me in the pictures, and not...
[ATTACH] I'll wait until 25+ votes or so have been cast before I reveal the grade and maybe post the slab image (though I do not presently have...
I was deciding between AU55 and AU58 when I scrolled down and saw the answer. Nice coin.
PS- Bolivar looks a bit like the emperor Domitian there: [IMG] Maybe my old denarius is not the ideal comparison, but I've seen Domitian on...
Can't believe how sharp that Bolivian is. I'm not sure I'd have taken the chance. In those blurry photos, it could've been a Chinese...

Oh, yes! The king's lost treasure! Now THAT's a captivating mystery, isn't It?
Never mind. Something wonky was going there with my page view.
:) So that's what I have in mind for the rest of them, once I've caught up on the work.
Hey, @TIF and others- I have begun working on the (slightly more personal, detailed) writeups in the second posts of the coins. If you'd indulge...
Thanks for sharing that. If I do have a website, I would want a small "For Sale" section- not so much that I'd expect to make much money off it,...
While I can't yet speak from experience, having not yet upgraded to Mega Red (let alone this Professional Edition I've as yet heard little about),...
"Lurker outreach" is indeed another useful aspect to polls. Not everyone who visits a page takes the time to comment. The advent of the "Like"...
Glad to hear it. I was all like, "Wait, what? Wassup with Mikey Zee?"
