Titus always looks so stern, doesn't he? He and Galba were fierce looking. Oh, and Nerva, too. Nerva's always rather grumpy looking. Not to...
(If you will permit a personal anecdote with a tiny numismatic tie-in) Look at the designer's initials below the arms on that 1967 Tongan...
Wonderful coin. These have come onto my radar recently, but like @spirityoda, I'm not ready for a medieval dinar quite yet. Any collection which...
I like the contrasting colors in the patina. Handsome coin.
One of these days I'm gonna learn to use ACSearch properly.
Haha. Made you look again! :P Really, I dunno.
Must've had something to do with the Pertinax sestertius, I guess.
Fascinating thread. Thanks (both to author and subsequent respondents). I haven't read it all yet, but intend to do so when I have the proper...
Have you traveled to the Far East, or did you inherit these from someone who did? Just curious.
Yep, it's a 1913-38 Buffalo nickel that has seen better days and had heat applied. Worth barely a nickel as-is - if you could find someone to...
LOL The Coinflation calculator actually let me put 0.5 quantity of silver Roosevelt dimes in. One half of a silver Roosie should be worth about...

This one at least is real. Some of the stuff you've posted this morning (1757 peace medal, etc) has been fake. This one got well worn, but they...
It's a Japanese nibu-kin (2-bu) coin from the end of the Samurai period and the beginning of their transition to a more industrialized society....
I agree. In this case, an attempt at conservation is likely to make it look even worse. You'd really have to strip it down to bare metal, and by...
I was going to use this for our transition from 1869 to 1868, but I'm late to the party. Japan (Meiji Era): gold/electrum Nibu-Kin (2 bu), ca....
The only Arcadius I own is not an attractive coin at all, but it does come with an interesting story. [IMG]
I concur with AU details, cleaned. I like it as a Choice AU, details-wise (55-ish), but the color looks "off".
Looks like an old PCI holder that Merc is in. Also looks like a nice coin. Deserves better pictures. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Congrats! I have yet to own a siliqua. Quite the startled appearance he has, due to the large eye in that portrait. It's as though he had too...
