Aw, forget about shoes for a moment. I was just caught up in admiring the design of that didrachm in general. Lovely coin.
I've always liked these designs, especially the ones with that square or diamond (lozenge?) shape (and whatever you call the other shape), like...
What's all this about cow toes? You spelled it wrong anyway. :cow:;)
This. The eight-reales coins are the dollar sized ones. I know Dan Lewis from Black Mountain Coins pretty well. Good guy. I've been to his shop...
It is, as @NLL mentioned, a modern replica, and a rather crude one at that. Just a novelty, if a rather fancily packaged one.
@Chip Kirkpatrick - welcome! It is refreshing to see a self-admitted novice who's ready and willing to learn, instead of being argumentative and...
It's on the 1847 cent, as well, like the one I sold @kazuma78. (The piece I sold him happens to be the finest graded example at either PCGS or...
Wow. :nailbiting: After parting with the one you got from me, I briefly considered getting one of these two from Atlas Numismatics....
Like your Roman Republican denarius avatar. Don't think you were wearing that when I first read this thread.
Aargh. These pix still make me cringe, interesting though they are.
This had me go to my archives to check my own old (now sadly bygone) ATG tet. Zeus seems to have some kind of footwear on, but it's not terribly...
Hmmm... I wonder what the "crossbar" protrusions on Alexandria's legs are here, on the left, as she hands the corn dole to Hadrian. Looks like...
Great! Thanks for the offer. Why don't we do that for the May giveaway, since we're already rolling on this one? Just shoot me a private...
Your username intrigues me, as I've done some relic hunting myself.
Wow, the surfaces on that look great. Let's have the flipside, pretty please.
I like that nice n' crusty 1848-O! There's something about those mm-above-bow coins that turns me on, for some reason...
Update: lots of feet, but most are poorly struck, off the flan, or just otherwise undefined. I can't tell if Virtus is barefooted or wearing...
Wow, what a beautifully sophisticated shoe. It would not look out of place in an upscale context today. I don't think I have many visible shoes...
The dateless coin looks like the date was rubbed/worn off, is all. Can't really see the 1955 well enough to determine anything (not that...
Then again, in paintings... 1352 [IMG] 1403 [IMG] 1580-1645 [IMG] So there you have it. You just put brillentalers on my radar.
