If you want to do a good job of this, it will be an incredibly difficult task. What regions and time periods will you be looking at? Here is an...
If the coin is special and interesting enough to warrant a new thread, I post it. If not it goes quietly into my collection. I feel that things...
The terminus post quem would be the date of the latest coin in the hoard. Given that no guineas of William III appear, a deposition date of the...
Off the top of my head, I believe the last stater you posted should be one of the earliest struck. The type only appeared on the coinage of...
More like modern mint and privy marks. Banker's marks are what you're thinking of.
A $100 estimate, the average where I work, is the minimum. With that estimate I'd be afraid that prospective bidders would gloss over it as a...

I used to collect them, but have since stopped. I still have a nearly complete mint-date set. [IMG] PHILIPPINES, Insular Government....
It's actually from southeast Asia, the area of modern day Burma, circa 600-1200. I'll have to look up the exact variety for a more specific answer.

Yes! I have thought about this before. We have plenty of time before the tech is advanced enough to adequately duplicate the surfaces of a coin....
The spellings ARE standardized. Only the transliteration systems differ. For example, Hartill (and most modern references) use the Pinyin system...
