EDIT: too late! Disregard this. Detector find. Dug from beneath an old pea-gravel walkway, so it's a tad rough. I can't complain. When...
Look! She's even got the same crown on that statue! I love it when people post these older "mystery items" and the jigsaw pieces start falling...
By George (or @willieboyd2, anyway), I do believe that's it!
I just listened to another episode of your podcast. It kept me entertained for an hour (which is one commuting cycle to and from work), so yes,...
And some facial fashions get recycled after more than a millennium. I suppose this shouldn't be all that surprising, but sometimes it is.
:sour: Indeed. Trouble is, so many of them clamor for attention and whisper sweet nothings in my ear. (Or shout, sometimes.)

Yes, 19th century and later is pretty easy, at least for Western coins. The German States can be a bit bewildering at times. India was a crazy...
63 and yes, PL, though whether a TPG would so designate it on a label is anyone's guess. I did vote MS62 in the poll to "err on the side of...
[IMG] [IMG] Neat looking medal! European... first half of the 20th century, that's my assessment. (Maybe late 1800s at the oldest.) Can't say...

@LaCointessa- were you not already getting two chances in the drawing, I'd give you another. But you'll get a goodie package regardless, even if...
Wow. What a striking pose and great portrait. He almost looks like a French musketeer or Puritan Roundhead from 16 or 17 centuries later!...
Nice! Seeing that gets me all nostalgic for my old 7070 days. :) I don't do a whole lot with US coins nowadays- I'm 80-90% "World & Ancient"-...
I think @willieboyd2 pinned it down. I was thinking Cologne because of that COL in the legends, but didn't get very far when I was plinking...
I've got ten years in Romans, now, since the collection shown in this thread essentially happened a decade ago. I have 40 years in the hobby now...
Yes, I believe you're correct there, but what the specific plant is eludes me as well.
