Those are NOT ancient coins. Not only is the metal totally wrong, the style is miles off. After finally loading your bigger pictures, I stand by...
Without using Photograde or pulling down the ANA grading standards book or my ancient Brown & Dunn, I think I see an XF45 to AU53 coin there....
"Bang for the buck" at its finest! I think the Philip I sestertius is probably my favorite (love the patina), but that Philip I tet is sharp!...
I thought Slavey was earlier. OK, so some earlier forger, then. Slavey was of course far from the only one, and there were skilled forgers LONG...
Oh wow, that's awesome. Like @hotwheelsearl suggested, if you could get that in PCGS plastic with a PO01 grade, you'd be able to make some money...
Slavey copies are a possibility, I suppose, though it is apparent to me that you've read up on them more than I have. I think this thing is old,...
Napkin ring crossed my mind, too. Or a kerchief slide, perhaps? I'm on a horrible connection so I couldn't load your full sized images. If you...
Well, now that's certainly interesting. If not actually ancient, then certainly old, I would think. Victorian, perhaps? Neat item. Of course...
If I put on an adult diaper and say "waaah!" and show you my toothless upper gum, will you put some toned gold on MY binkie? ;)
Neat coin, cool die cracks. Considering the "problem" notations on the ANACS holder, I don't think it's bad looking for all that. Would be OK in...
I can agree with that. Nice MS coin with not especially appealing toning. I certainly don't love the toning, but I don't totally despise it,...
Oh, yeah! Nice n' "crusty" in the right way! The little bit of scuz inside the first "8" doesn't look so bad in your photos. I'd try a little...
Don't forget the World & Ancient Coins Buy/Sell/Trade Forum on Collectors Universe, too. If you're not a member there and join up, tell 'em...
Yep. I got your rough list via PM, but by all means, put 'em on here (or the For Sale forum, with pix or at least grades), and maximize your...
Welcome! I came late to the party, so everyone else pretty much covered it, and in more detail than I would have. Sorry, no zillion-dollar find...
Yeah, I don't totally blame her for flubbing some of the facts. I can see how stuff like this in general (and my written copy in particular)...
Welcome! Yep. Dutch (or Curacao) 10-cent piece. .640 silver, if I remember correctly. Not a lot of silver bullion in that one, of course, but...
I like Irish coins and have some past track record with them, albeit on a modest scale. I once completed the entire Irish predecimal series in...
Well, there's something I didn't know. I have heard both terms, of course, but did not know that one was the plural form of the other. In fact,...
BTW, since the cat's out of the bag now, I can share a picture of the site. If you were to draw a hypothetical "X" about an inch or two below the...
