Indeed.
You're not the first to be confused over this, and you won't be the last. You're looking, and taking an interest, which is the main thing....
I browsed Wildwinds and found the posthumous denarii honoring him (eagles, altars) somewhat more interesting than the typical lifetime fare with...
That's really neat!
Good review. Sounds like another production that panders a bit too heavily to the Millennials for my tastes. I usually pass on this sort of...
Sounds interesting. I hadn't heard of such errors, but would love to see pictures of them. The numismatic term is spelled "planchet", BTW. A...
Apparently you meant "cleaning up" the plastic slabs themselves and not the coins within them. Gave me a brief cringe, though. LOL
Now that's a sweet circulation find!
If the Pillar dollar sells to a cash buyer this weekend. If my potential swap partner still has that on Monday, though, it might just be...
I know exactly what you mean. Some coins have a slightly "macho" appeal to them. The Teutonic Order piece above definitely has a martial...
How about another wild card? To the next player: USA, 1906, or any elongated coin. (If you play an elongate, though, it needs to have a readable...

That coin rocks for $30-ish! I do like the "bang-for-the-buck" factor on Septimius Severus' coins. His and Gordian III's silver seem to offer...
Wow, what a cool type! (If just a wee bit grisly).
I've never had a Tiberius AE. Come to think of it, the only two Tiberius coins I've had were both silver "Tribute Penny" denarii. Two pieces-...

Oh, OK. Thanks. Makes sense, I guess. Wikipedia said something about a wreath.
Thanks. I see "Persic standard drachm" and "siglos" both used for the denomination? The seller called this a drachm. I had to look up what a...
With AΦ-ΡO in the fields, I only see two with Hera facing left listed: This: [IMG] Malloy 1ac Amisos as Peireus, Pontos, AR Persic standard...
Thanks. I'm not so good at the nuts-n'-bolts minutiae of attribution, aside from browsing Wildwinds for similar examples. Sometimes it makes my...
