It is my "road less traveled" pursuit. Some people do lowballs. I do holeys.
Capricorns count as mythical beasties. I'm not sure how the two on this coin count as capricorns, since you can't see their fishy tails, but...
I dislike that practice. Don't like restrikes of old designs. Even when the design was a great one. I got a pair of the modern Morgan and Peace...
For the record, I have never sold to Littleton, and haven't bought from them since the 1970s. So I was only repeating secondhand information there.
I too had to Google "URS numbers". And then I had to change the keywords to "URS numbers numismatics" to get a relevant result. I was unfamiliar...
Nah, it makes sense. That's one reason I like proofs. They're the best representation of how a coin's design was intended to look (under optimal...
From an ancient PCGS Registry type set I had about 25 years ago. (I used a flatbed scanner for images back then.) [IMG]
Your Balbinus caught my eye. He's one that I've never owned. I did have a Pupienus sestertius once, and it was a Wildwinds plate coin, but alas,...
Good morning, and welcome to February 13th. (Yikes! Friday the Thirteenth! LOL) Today we move into the dimes. Because we're working on a Dansco...
Ah! I just remembered I have one of these in my current giveaway inventory. :) Anybody who wants a chance at it is welcome to enter Giveaway...
I like it. The only Lucius Verus I can remember owning was this sestertius, in my first Roman collection from 2007-08. [IMG]
You done anything yet with that partial Washington set you got from me? I see that lacked the '55-D.
I can't help at all with specialist varieties or R-numbers on stuff like that, but I will say, Man, that's a nice looking Bust dime! The Buffnick...
Looks like a decent pickup for less than three bucks.
Interesting. Are there any pics of proposed designs? Or did you mean they'd be recycling the Sesquicentennial design of a hundred years ago?...
I see nothing too objectionable in the photos, but if there is something sticky on there I would try pure acetone to remove it, or rubbing alcohol...
I personally believe your coin to be authentic, and it looks nice with that contrasting grey CircCam toning. The type is Numista-16514 and...
Here's a small, grainy, ancient flatbed scanner image from about 25 years ago, when I had a PCGS Registry Modern Type Set. This PR67 likely...
Today's type is the Jefferson Nickel 35% Silver (1942-45). Also commonly referred to as the "War Nickel". I currently lack a Jefferson War nickel...
Here’s a ketos (sea monster) snatching a fish, underneath the crab on this Akragas coin. Greece (Sicily, Akragas): ca. 425-406 BC silver...
