I had no idea. I leaned towards Coin 1 based solely upon the overall softness of the devices, but didn't pick up on the differences in the...
Great coin! Nice example of a very cool type. I too was taken by this design. I only have half a dozen ancients in my present tiny collection,...
Et tu, jwitten? I recognize you from CU, and know about your propensity for toned gold, but didn't know you did ancients. Good, maybe another...
Well, there you go! Ken Dorney, a recognized name in the business! I only recently started posting here, but I recognize Ken Dorney. He is a...
This was the last collection I completed before I moved on to a "Box of 20". Even the slabophobes usually admit that it looked great this way....
Shoot me a message if you like, and when I'm on a proper computer with a mouse and keyboard, I'll give you some links to sellers who have...
@Deacon Ray- I like your style, and what you do. And if you want to slab those widow's mites and such, go right ahead. They look classy like...
As to the Judaean coins in the OP photo, I would think they might appeal more in the pricey plastic to some of the noncollecting general public,...
I slab mine, fully cognizant of the points TIF brought up, and that by so doing, I'm bucking tradition a bit. Note, however, that while NGC won't...
Nice stuff, y'all. This is presently my one and only CWT. I already posted it in the big Exonumia thread, but am delighted to have an excuse to...

Thanks!

Sorry, seems I botched that link somehow. Try again Aha- the stupid autocorrect on my tablet changed "htm" to "him" in the URL. Pretty much...
It may be billon (a copper-silver alloy with fairly low silver content). In fact, it could be a billon blanca. "Blanca" being the Spanish word...
Nice pickup. I don't know what it's worth- perhaps not much- but if you bought it as a cheap, unidentified, uncleaned "pick bin" sort of...
I need to get that. Never got past my ancient (Win95!) MGI Photosuite software, and i don't even have that anymore. (Probably wouldn't work...
Spanish. I am pretty sure it is a maravedis denomination of the very famous Ferdinand & Isabella, who bankrolled Columbus so he could sail the...
Take it from a 40-year numismatist AND detecting veteran (I started both in 1976): you ain't gonna get rich off that 1889 cent, but its value as a...
I thought about this over the last day or so, and every time I said to myself: "This guy just traded a bunch of DEAD BUGS for some mind blowing...
