I find the eye appeal on the OP to be neutral. It's not a look I would seek out, and i don't especially love it, but I certainly don't hate it,...
XF indeed, perhaps XF45.
I really like that Portuguese coin.
A wise choice, I think. Agrippa looks rather stern on this bronze As. [IMG] There's another with green patina. When I posted the Nerva...
I bought this one raw for essentially spot price. Paid for the slabbing, of course. Was quite pleased with the outcome. [IMG]
The numismatic premiums are indeed too high if one is "stacking", but there is some happy middle ground in the Latin Monetary Union gold struck in...
Well, he was the second of four emperors in the turbulent civil war year of 69 AD, was a frail old man when he took power, and got whacked after a...
That's because @Peter T Davis is like the Great Oz. Nobody has proven to me that he actually exists, though I do get nice automated birthday...

Photos of it appear to be somewhat rare. :snaphappy:;) LOL @paddyman98
If everybody's ready for 1788, I have a piece with that date on it, though in this case it's a "sham" 1788. It's an imitation "Spade" guinea...
It does look lamination related. Interesting! I think @ken454 might be onto something. But let the error specialists have the final say on this...
Fun finds! Don't see too many S-mints in circulation here on the East coast.
You're right. Coins and PMs are a nice low-tech collectible. We can enhance the experience with Internet technology and photography and all...
