While authentic ancient Greek coins did have particularly high reliefs, this was my thinking all along, once I was able to see the larger photos....
... and I share your enthusiasm for the Draped Bust design. I'd like to find another DB half for my Box of 20 before too long.
Yes, I think a 1798 cent is your candidate.
Very cool, and very exotic! I had never heard of the Chagatayid dynasty. Nice patina on that one, too. I was unfamiliar with all of these types...
Guess what? In 2012, that very same archaeologist found out that it WAS true! The long-forgotten Wright Square colonial cemetery was...
If you'll pardon a little shameless self-promotion (not spam, since all I'm asking is some attention, and giving away prizes in return), please...
Do many of your customers drive time-traveling DeLoreans? LOL
Thank you for pointing that out. It was baffling me. Upside-down, the "LL" characters looked like a weird Pi symbol or something. I disagree...
German States (Teutonic Order): silver 1/4-thaler of Grand Master Maximilian of Austria, ca. 1615 [IMG] France: silver jeton of Louis XV,...

I think the $35 Vespasian denarius is my favorite. I bought a Tetricus AE in an NNC holder once, with a ludicrous "Mint State" grade on the...
Those are all lovely. I particularly like the first two.
Hasn't snowed and "stuck" here in the Golden Isles of Georgia since 1989, and that was a freakish once-in-a-century event, when several inches...
I concur. Choice AU, maybe. Hard to say by the pictures. Numismedia trends for a 1942 Walking Liberty half are $17 in AU50, $22 in AU53, $25 in...
He looks surprisingly benevolent in that portrait, and older. Given only the portrait to guess from, I'd have thought it was his father Vespasian.
@jwitten- It is my understanding that this is how the PCGS affiliates in Europe and Asia image the coins. The TrueView template you're more...
I'll add that I'm more accustomed to seeing adjustment marks on bigger silver coins than small gold ones like this. And I don't know why they...
Yep. For anybody else who's reading this and wondering what "adjustment marks" are, they were done by the mint, usually with a file, to bring a...
