I'm certainly no expert, either, but am reasonably confident in saying this one looks fine to me. And I have my doubts that there are a lot of...
I love these. I couldn't resist this one at $26. (The unnecessary plastic was my later addition, and cost more than the coin itself.) [IMG]
Looks OK to me? I am, however, only a part-time dabbler in ancients, so you'll want to get an opinion with a little more weight.
Hmm... so maybe my idiot's intuition about the elephant had some substance, after all.
@dougsmit- now that's totally cool. @David Atherton- I picked up Kenneth Harl's course "The Vikings", a set of audiobooks released by The Great...
I bought this cute little bronze from Gerhard Rohde on VCoins recently because I liked the portrait and the lion on it. I needed a <$25 ancient...
Looks neat. If it's fake, it's a good enough fake for me not to know any better. (Not that that's saying much.) The elephant is a bit...
Remind me to get an ice cream truck and drive it up and down the block in your neighborhood. Maybe somebody will decide to spend some other...
Huh. You're right. That is neat. I'm not sure how sustainable it is, economically, but if it did work out for them, one wonders what would...
If memory serves, these were produced around the turn of the last century; say circa 1905 or so- even before the discovery of King Tut's tomb in...

@willieboyd2 specializes in these "Egyptian Magic Coin" (tokens).
I got a 95% red 1968 in change the other day. Not really good enough to keep, but nice enough for me to notice it and wonder where it had been...
Ooh! Gorgeous! What a lusterbomb that quarter is! And the rest are awesome, too. 1944 is also my mother's birthyear. A good year, it seems....
I know nothing about paper money (I stick to the round metallic objects), so I have no intelligent advice. Neat find, though.
Remember how I said I've never bought an Owl because my tastes and budget never intersected, but that I'd come close a few times? Oh, wait, that...
Your Caracalla goal seems doable. Your French Feudal obsession seems admirable enough. I have never owned an Owl either, though I could've...
I think a tumbler would've smoothed out the abrasions, unless somebody used a really coarse medium.
Yep. Fake. Sorry.
