That coin rocks for $30-ish! I do like the "bang-for-the-buck" factor on Septimius Severus' coins. His and Gordian III's silver seem to offer...
Wow, what a cool type! (If just a wee bit grisly).
I've never had a Tiberius AE. Come to think of it, the only two Tiberius coins I've had were both silver "Tribute Penny" denarii. Two pieces-...

Oh, OK. Thanks. Makes sense, I guess. Wikipedia said something about a wreath.
Thanks. I see "Persic standard drachm" and "siglos" both used for the denomination? The seller called this a drachm. I had to look up what a...
With AΦ-ΡO in the fields, I only see two with Hera facing left listed: This: [IMG] Malloy 1ac Amisos as Peireus, Pontos, AR Persic standard...
Thanks. I'm not so good at the nuts-n'-bolts minutiae of attribution, aside from browsing Wildwinds for similar examples. Sometimes it makes my...

1761-Mo Mexico 8R, PCGS AU50 (for sale @ $550) I could have this in an even swap for the 3cN coin below. Might even be able to squeeze the...
Aha! 1898 gives me an opening to play another from my "Box of 20" (the cheapest one from the box, but it happens to be the second-finest graded...
They've always been "the ice cream type" to me. (Not to be confused with the legendary Daggett specimen of the 1894-S US dime, popularly referred...
@Dave M- I've always liked those little 1848 centimes. Quite the pivotal year. And attractive coins. I was happy when I found a nice mid-grade...
France: copper specimen striking of a 10-centime pattern (essai), 1848 [IMG] PCGS SP65 RB, cert.#33997478. Pop. 1 in all grades at PCGS. [IMG]
Sorry to be a broken record, and to keep yanking us back to the same theme. It's just that the only twentieth century material I have imaged...
I will defer to @Fred Weinberg on this one. I'm not an error/variety guy, but that definitely looks interesting.
Maybe, or maybe just the wrong pictures, since we were discussing two old non-US coins, and your next set of pictures, instead of showing the...
