Good thing I took it philosophically, huh. I felt worse when I had the chance to go detecting at an old plantation site with a friend, called out...
Turkey (Seljuks of Rûm): silver dirham of Kaykhusraw II; lion & sun, AH 638 (1240-1241) [IMG] Since that's actually medieval and not truly...
If that's an imitation of a Venetian grosso, I can say that the actual mint product wasn't much better sometimes. :) [IMG]
Once a coin leaves my ownership, what happens with it is none of my business, as long as it is authentic and was properly described by me. Case...
Pretty nice looking for a clad quarter. I have nothing to add on the minor die variety stuff, as that is not my cup of tea, personally.

So I guess the bigger horses started to be bred more often in the Late Middle Ages when you had heavily armored knights in full plate armor, then?...
