Covered by damage, I'm afraid. That one got chewed up somehow. Metal got moved around in the process. Worth 25 cents, but a vending machine...
This was once the centerpiece of my "Holey Gold Hat" collection. Zeno (emperor of the East, A.D. 476-491). AV Solidus. Thessalonica, A.D. 476 or...
It just dawned on me that I did not have this coin in my album of gold from the hat. It was the very centerpiece of the "Holey Gold Hat"...
"Excepted?" o_O Oh! You mean "accepted"? I don't think that will be an issue. Pretty much anyone can join. That's a good place to learn....
It's a cool find, even if it isn't worth much. Could have been a movie prop! Sure- ask away on the metal detecting questions, either in a PM...
It looks cast. The details aren't as sharp as a struck piece. They're "mushy". It's a bit too round. (Then again, maybe not- my real one is...
I know nothing of paper currency, but I really like that 77444444. Cool.
Holy crap! You were right! That coin is a copy, all right... but it's a copy of an Aethelred II penny like mine! That's nuts! What a bizarre...
I'd call that VG except for the lack of any letters in LIBERTY. I suppose this is one of those ambiguous situations, as you've discovered. The...
You could have found a replica, 'tis true. They're out there. There are movie prop coins that look like this. And I think some of the Lord of...
I think you're right, but unfortunately I know next to nothing about Indian temple tokens.
Post a picture of it. Would be pretty hilarious/amazing if you found a Viking-era hammered silver penny in a dime roll! LOL Wouldn't happen,...
That rouble deserves better photos!
Not all of mine in the "Eclectic Box" are slabbed yet, but a number will be going off for certification and encapsulation soon. I'm hoping to...
Sorry, but I can't make out anything in those pictures.
The latter, please. :) No contest there. PS- don't mistake me for one of those a Kool-Aid-quaffing "PCGS or nothing else" kind of people (who...
All hail @Numismat! When I hear "8-maravedis", I think of the big, chunky, half-dollar-sized milled copper ones of Isabella II in the mid-1800s....
An 8-maravedis piece would be pretty large, I think (at least they were later, in the 1800s milled coins). My 1658 4-maravedis is about the size...
I only had five Straits coins in the collection I built for my daughter, but I remember when I sold them, the bidding was quite active, and of...
You just dated yourself with that seemingly-obscure reference, but I picked up on it for some odd reason (even though I never saw the musical or...
Separate names with a comma.
