I only collect coins, though I happily include various proto-monetary objects in that definition. Lately, I've taken a bit of a shine to...
SNG BM Black Sea 1199-1200, as here: http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=219560
A good find, considering that you undoubtedly got it for a good price. But I wouldn't consider it rare - there are two dozen on CoinArchives!
Bah. Something must have happened when copying it from the other forum. Let me see if I can fix it.

I am quite familiar with crickets. There are maybe ten collectors worldwide who share my esoteric collecting interest.
Most likely, but it should be predominantly lead. I hope to do xrf analysis on them, but that would require time and money that I just don't have....
While these were initially issued only for Nemausus, the vast numbers and the broad find spots for this series indicates that it became the de...

I don't agree. Issues of Hilderic have a thicker, more pine-like wreath. I can't read the obverse legend, but it is either a normal late-Roman...
Here is a rare one: [IMG] BYZANTINE. temp. Phocas. Circa AD 602-609. Æ 12 Nummi (11mm, 0.45 g, 7 h) Contemporary imitation. Unofficial mint in...
I think you're missing an o in the title... ;)
One question about your cataloging - you say "Comté Archeveche." Which is it? A county or an archbishophric?
