Those are nice medals. It would be hilarious if somebody cracked one out and submitted it to NGC. :rolleyes:
Cool theme. I was trying to think of ancients with insects on them. I know there were some types with grasshoppers. In browsing your album, I...
That rouble is crazy-nice, and the cameo contrast is stunning. I'm also interested in the date 1844, for personal/religious reasons.
Great toning, and looks like "skeleton man" on there! Neato.
This 1847 Liberian proof cent is not my newest acquisition, but perhaps the second-newest. Just got the news from PCGS. I had acquired it in an...
I should add that I really like the uneven sort of "contoured" effect on the back of the 2- and 4-daler pieces shown here. Those look great. I...
Ancients... modern... World... US... it's ALL good. :happy:
That is just trippy. Not only the woodie effect, but the gif, too. Cool. The lamination is neat, too. Woodgrain copper is not my personal...
I am no EAC guy or early copper specialist of any stripe, but I will say that coin has a very wholesome appearance for the grade. Congrats.
Great old ANACS photocertificate slab!
Good job. You won't regret it. I dunno what that first one you posted is. Looks like a "red wannabe" to me, though it may be all right. But...
Yep. Looks OK to me, and a nice piece at that, but definitely NOT "Roman Republic". This is Roman Imperial.
As mentioned, this has the look of a lot of the El Cazador shipwreck, sea-salvaged pieces. But because of those surfaces, it also looks like a...
I dunno about $1365, but that's a nice example. Before slabbing (yes, I slabbed my 12 Caesars set, and I'm not sorry, so nyah nyah, slabophobes),...
Turkey may not be far off- it kinda-sorta resembles some Ottoman Empire coins, though I don't see the "toughra" monogram one would expect to see...
I heartily recommend you pick up a copy of "A Guide Book of US Coins" (better known as "The Red Book" in the hobby). Most bookstores will carry...
Exactly what I told him. Would look really neat on a little easel.
There were two-cent pieces in bronze from 1864 to 1873, yes. The silver three-cent pieces were struck from 1851-1873 and the nickel three-cent...
The first coin is a Liberty nickel, also commonly referred to as a "V-nickel" for obvious reasons. The second is a nickel three-cent piece (in...
Having owned exactly one piece of Swedish plate money ever (and that a sea-salvaged 1750 4-daler piece from the Nicobar shipwreck), I can say that...
Separate names with a comma.
