Thanks. Five pounds o' greasy bacon sammiches for you, my friend. With onions and cheese, if you like. I do.
Yes, and lovely coin, too. It was 1907 or Indian cent, so you did fine. Boy, wouldn't it be awesome to own a 1909 that looked like yours but...
I will almost certainly be adding a Persian gold toman to my "Eclectic Box" collection next. It must be dated 1233 AH (1817 AD), for personal...
Does look like the same basic type to me, though you'll want to have one of the more experienced folks pin down the exact attribution. Indeed,...
Good year. 1944 is my mother's birthyear. Mom was, like her offspring, (and Bruce Springsteen) "Born in the USA", so ... [ATTACH]

I'm sure we know some of the same people. The first shows I did were NCNA shows in Raleigh around the millennium. I lived much of my former...
Actually, yes. :) That's Cyprus, below, even if it looks more like "YPRU" on the coin. (Authentic coins from Ypru are quite rare. Perhaps...

Thank YOU, for the feedback. I live in a numismatic backwater, haven't gone to shows in a decade, and have never been around any clubs, so this...

Wow. Just... wow. 'Twas the Nero that leapt off the monitor at me the most - so glossy and gorgeous! - but that Vitellius beneath it grabbed my...
Wow, the details are so clear on that one. I am not accustomed to looking at these and actually seeing a face and human features on the horseman...
Neat reverse. I am dubious of the "hand" interpretation in this particular case, but y'all are the experts and I'm only a part-time dabbler in...
Separate names with a comma.
