I've seen that dark, slightly iridescent toning on silver before, so I have a fair idea of what your quarter looks like in hand. I'm not sure...
I agree.
Glad to hear that! I thought that was fun when I heard who it was going to. :)
Interesting. You have a good memory. FWIW, the link that Mat provided to that FORVM fake report just led me to the login page, and when I logged...
Look OK to me?
Neat two-headed type.
I will say that's a neat way to photograph a coin. Would be a bit better if you used a bolt whose head was a little smaller, so it didn't stick...
How can one not click on a thread entitled "Mysterious Sicilian Island"? A title like that beckons. I daresay you could put it up on a movie...
Indeed, nice coin, and interesting photo technique, but it threw me off for a moment. At first I thought the coin was struck on some kind of odd,...
Hey, hey, Deacon Ray - your thread drew a response from Joe Sermarini! One of only two ever, since 2004!
Sure thing. Right after I summit Mount Everest and give a kazoo recital in Carnegie Hall. ;) However, I believe Leroy Van Allen himself now owns...
Too late. I already spent my Mad Money $1,329,063.00 bill on it. You'll have to find your own. Oh, hang on... I think I have about 2/3 of an...
I'll take it! Here you go. You owe me $329,063.00 in change. [IMG]
Whaaaat?!? You mean to tell me I own a gold coin type that you don't have!?!!!! I didn't think there WAS such a thing! ;)
Oh, yes. Mos' def'! Those 5-franc pieces especially are textbook CirCams! Hm. CT seems to lack a "thumbs-up" emoticon. Here. I shall post a...
(Aaaand back to the shag carpet theme) I once lost a loose Indian gold fanam in @Aethelred's living room. We finally gave up the search. Months...
(Back on topic) There were gold quinarii too, right? Struck from the same dies as the silver ones sometimes? Like the denarius/aureus die linkages?
LOL I'll definitely not bring my 10mm hekte over for a play date, then! I remember my grandmother's apartment in 1979 had mustard-yellow shag...
I really like that. Nice toning and overall appearance. I've never had a quinarius. (Or siliqua, either, for that matter.)
That's quite a difference. I retract my earlier comments on the Lincoln cent. Not that I'm now saying, "yes, it will definitely straight-grade",...
