At risk of (slightly) derailing the thread, may I solicit your opinion of this piece? I'll copy-and-paste my post from a recent thread about...
True, true, but I'm just talking in general types. Not varieties. I'm more of a "see the forest" than "see the trees" kinda guy sometimes....
That could be. Maybe with some kind of compound, which is what I'm seeing trapped in the crevices? I just zoomed in on that picture. That coin,...
Both are attractive enough for a raw album collection, but I'd advise you to save your money and not submit either of those. I'm convinced a TPG...
Syracusan dekadrachms are some of the costliest ancient coins around. The tetradrachms are quite expensive as well. For that reason alone, be...
@FitzNigel - do I detect a Norman gold taxi (No, silly Autocorrect, the Normans did not have "gold taxis" [sic]. Geez! And you call yourself a...
@Sallent and @Nap and I are gonna start the "Seljuq Lion Club" for anyone else who wants to join! It was bedeviling me why I could not see the...
Yeah, those I recognized as being the same.
Good luck! Will be a tough emperor to check off the list. Besides, "Pertinax" is a cool-sounding name.
Cathy - Thanks! Yes, Photobucket has gone off the rails, and become utter garbage. I once might have given them a small fee to continue the...
I can't believe it never dawned on me until just now that the Liberty head on the Type 1 gold dollar is the same one as on the $20 Liberty...
Why am I unable to see @FitzNigel's original post? For me, the first post visible is @Mat in Post #2. For my primary "Eclectic Box" collection:...
Covered by damage, I'm afraid. That one got chewed up somehow. Metal got moved around in the process. Worth 25 cents, but a vending machine...
This was once the centerpiece of my "Holey Gold Hat" collection. Zeno (emperor of the East, A.D. 476-491). AV Solidus. Thessalonica, A.D. 476 or...
It just dawned on me that I did not have this coin in my album of gold from the hat. It was the very centerpiece of the "Holey Gold Hat"...
"Excepted?" o_O Oh! You mean "accepted"? I don't think that will be an issue. Pretty much anyone can join. That's a good place to learn....
It's a cool find, even if it isn't worth much. Could have been a movie prop! Sure- ask away on the metal detecting questions, either in a PM...
It looks cast. The details aren't as sharp as a struck piece. They're "mushy". It's a bit too round. (Then again, maybe not- my real one is...
I know nothing of paper currency, but I really like that 77444444. Cool.
Holy crap! You were right! That coin is a copy, all right... but it's a copy of an Aethelred II penny like mine! That's nuts! What a bizarre...
