I agree; somewhere on the high end of FR02 or low end of AG03. Down in these lower grades, the rim ding might not hold it back, since a certain...
It looks like it could be a lamination of some kind, maybe?
Does look nice n' silvery. What happened to the obverse legends? Looks almost like it was anepigraphic on purpose.
Ditto to what @zumbly said. Looks fine to me. I'm not into Late Roman bronze, but I do like the Victory reverse on these.
Funny you should mention that. I saw it just a moment ago ... opened it ... saw zero pictures ... and closed it. I'm sure Frank's a reputable...
Ain't that a rush? I'll bet you've done a lot of detecting on your property since, eh?

On its way back from NGC, finally. :) I figured @Deacon Ray wouldn't object to my trumpeting the plastic outcome of my coin, despite the...
All in all, I'm fairly satisfied with the NGC results on this round of Ancients, despite the excruciatingly slow turnaround. Ancient Greece...
After more than two months and two emails, I finally have results from NGC on the ancients. The first four are mine. The others belonged to...
I like the old European stuff, myself. Got this one for around melt price, raw. Sent it off. [IMG] [IMG]
Re. that Bugs Bunny GIF that @Muzyck posted earlier: [ATTACH] You can tell I've been coin-obsessed for far too long, because when I saw that...
I just had one like that last Argentine piece. [IMG] [IMG]
Since we're in 1797 (If a tad prematurely), here are two more off the Holey Coin Vest. Austrian Netherlands: silver kronenthaler, 1797 [IMG]...
I won the "PHEBE" owls love token. :D
