Indeed, nice coin, and interesting photo technique, but it threw me off for a moment. At first I thought the coin was struck on some kind of odd,...
Hey, hey, Deacon Ray - your thread drew a response from Joe Sermarini! One of only two ever, since 2004!
Sure thing. Right after I summit Mount Everest and give a kazoo recital in Carnegie Hall. ;) However, I believe Leroy Van Allen himself now owns...
Too late. I already spent my Mad Money $1,329,063.00 bill on it. You'll have to find your own. Oh, hang on... I think I have about 2/3 of an...
I'll take it! Here you go. You owe me $329,063.00 in change. [IMG]
Whaaaat?!? You mean to tell me I own a gold coin type that you don't have!?!!!! I didn't think there WAS such a thing! ;)
Oh, yes. Mos' def'! Those 5-franc pieces especially are textbook CirCams! Hm. CT seems to lack a "thumbs-up" emoticon. Here. I shall post a...
(Aaaand back to the shag carpet theme) I once lost a loose Indian gold fanam in @Aethelred's living room. We finally gave up the search. Months...
(Back on topic) There were gold quinarii too, right? Struck from the same dies as the silver ones sometimes? Like the denarius/aureus die linkages?
LOL I'll definitely not bring my 10mm hekte over for a play date, then! I remember my grandmother's apartment in 1979 had mustard-yellow shag...
I really like that. Nice toning and overall appearance. I've never had a quinarius. (Or siliqua, either, for that matter.)
That's quite a difference. I retract my earlier comments on the Lincoln cent. Not that I'm now saying, "yes, it will definitely straight-grade",...
I will run out of playable coins pretty rapidly, but I can do 1440-47. Netherlands (Gelderland): "St. John" type goldgulden (florin) of Arnold...
Those are ... (never thought I'd hear myself saying this) ... cool stickers. I had no clue what a "VSS sticker" was, so my curiosity made me...
That's the problem even with well-matched date sets. That "sameness". To me, a type set is much more interesting to look at than a date set,...
As flatbed scanners went, that old HP I had (still have- the cats sleep on it now) was a very good one. Cost me over a hundred bucks new. I'd...
Indeed. That is "The Look". And I was happy to also get "The Look" on that 1921-S, it being one of the key dates and all.
Thank you. You have now just increased my ancient coin vocabulary by one phrase. :) (One wonders where I'd be now if I were less of a "skimmer"...
