I would not be confident in my sole ability to determine authenticity, but once that was independently established and confirmed by trustworthy...
@Mikey Zee - the background in your photos really seem to give depth to the composition and make the coin stand out. Great pics!
Great quadrigas! The obverse portrait of the coin in the OP has a pleasantly benevolent expression, if a bit dreamy.
Yes, it does skate the boundary between enviro damage and acceptability Both, actually. It is enviro-damaged but I do find it acceptable for a...
Ye Olde Deade Kinge has a point. At some point I need to make a final decision. I could keep waffling on this indefinitely, as there are so many...
I always joked that one could use those for slingshot ammo, with devastating effects.

I do hope you'll share some pictures. I totally understand about the knee thing and am in the same boat with you. Sadly, I think my active...
