Cool! I've had many a Wang Mang (dang, that sounds SO wrong, doesn't it? LOL), but just round cash coins- never any spades or suchlike.
ROFL! Yeah, I've read many accounts of what a "really nice guy" Caracalla was. Like the time he supposedly murdered his brother Geta in their...
Excellent! These are great coins, and offer lots of affordable "bang for the buck". Congrats! You got a very handsome example, there. Looks...
Exactly. I'm only after a casual sideline I'll play with for a little while, and I could never afford to build a complete Morgan collection,...
I voted "yes" to all but the two paper money categories (I don't collect paper money, but could perhaps one day be tempted by some older types,...
The only errors I see here are the misspelling of "nickel" and "shiny" and the lack of any pictures. ;)
This was my instinctive reaction, too. At least 50%. But it's hard for me to make that determination, since an issue like that would be a...
Not whizzed, I don't think. Maybe dipped and improperly rinsed. But I don't find it to be that bad looking, really. And for 15 bucks, I don't...

Same here. No confirmation yet. That's OK and understandable if our coordinator is busy. I just didn't want to forget, is all. I'm about...
This. Nothing against APMEX, but I'd rather pick my own example in an auction where I know I'm getting that exact coin, rather than some...
I agree. It sure got beat up somehow, and I'd say that happened outside of the Mint.
Somebody painted with a pretty broad brush to make that list, and I take issue with some of the inclusions. Hallmark had some very conservatively...
Those French Colonial aluminums are all lovely.
Things didn't end so well for Caligula, but he probably earned his comeuppance. [IMG] [IMG]
Splendid coin, as usual. Franz looks a bit grumpy. I would not have wanted to been in the palace when the emperor was in a bad mood.
The Central American Republic included parts of Nicaragua as well as several other present-day Central American countries. Central American...
