One last one for tonight: An antoninian for Divus Antoninus Pius, struck under Trajanus Decius. T. Decius minted remembrance antoninians...
Now that you mention it, Mat - your are right, it is a bit creepy with heads sticking out of a horn. But then again, standards were different in...
I have not been very active with my ancient coin collection lately, so I thought it was time to dust off some of the pictures I recently took and...
Derick, that is very, very kind of you. I almost did not recognize Coloso (picture #3?). If only one could roll back time........ I wish I...
You are right, I was trying to be gentle. That is why I said 'assuming you find someone who is not bothered by the hole' I have bought coins with...
Very nice coin, 900! I still need to find a decent 1803 for my collection (but then again, also 'need' a 1793 liberty cap, another 1794 with head...
Nice one Ripley!
Looks like S-187, R-1. But I am giving no guarantees. Details of VF20, downgraded to VG7 for damage, you are looking at about $100-170 (assuming...
I wanted to thank everybody for your comments. Yes, I do think the toning on the 1854 O half does look a little too colourful to be natural. I am...
Thank for posting those pictures, derrick. From the looks of it you are close to the Cordillera de los Andes? Reminds me a lot of one of the...
Here are the rest of the coins:
It is not very usual to find older U.S type coins at coin shows in Germany anymore. So I was surprised when a seller had these and others for...
Mike, I guess you meant 1821. A nice coin, and quite scarce in that condition. As a matter of interest, is the grade you quote the EAC or TPG...
Very interesting coin! I think 'pituto' means something like button (in the context of 'empuja el pituto' = press the button)
Moving onto 1823.....since I don't have an 1822 (at least not one worth showing) - here is an 1823/2. In this case the coin is much nicer than...
Sorry, this is another coin out of sequence: 1811 Cent (not the overdate) Nice surfaces, fairly good condition, BUT unfortunately cleaned.
I like this one, showing a roman lady veiled and mysterious. This roman coin (dupondius of Drusus) shows the wife of emperor Augustus, Livia,...
Thank you Gallienus for pointing out your website. You have some very nice coins there, and I have bookmarked it. I encourage other C.T members...
May I rephrase: nothing better than a beautiful woman AND/WITH a coin!
Derick, it may be worthwhile letting the 1825 soak in acetone for a while. Some of what appears corrosion may be removable junk.
