That thaler must be amazing. I have its little brother, an undated ca. 1615 quarter-thaler. My quarter-thaler is still a pretty sizeable coin,...
That clinches it. I had totally overlooked the "S" mintmark.
Hard to tell much from the pictures, but that does have a bit of a CircCam appearance to it. It's almost certainly due to environmental damage,...
For the cheap price of free.
Thanks. Hmm. I'll have to see what I can do about tweaking the sigline banner.

That's very true. There have been plenty of times I've sold off awesome "stand-alone" coins simply because they didn't fit into whatever set I...

By golly, I think our good Cap'n Nemo is onto something, here! It certainly looks like the #79 crown countermark to me! Note the five distinct...
What's it say under the altar on that one? Edit: never mind. Wikipedia answered that for me. "ARA PACIS", huh? Neat. I was unfamiliar with...
They did, didn't they? I like that "earthy" one you posted. Reminds me of my old one from my first Roman collection. :) PS- I thought that one...
I'll stay in Venice, so it's still the same. Next player may travel from anywhere in Italy. Italy (Venice): silver grosso of Antonio Venier,...
Peace dollars, huh? ;) It's been a while. Here: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [SPOILER] (Hint: I thought this one was pretty conservatively graded, by 1-2...
I don't think the OP was planning to recycle a single Lincoln Memorial cent and neither do I, nor do I really care that much about the issue, so...
