Gorgeous coin and history Loong! I have often wondered about the origins of Japanese coinage, and considering their relationship with China, this...
Well, looks to me like you've got 11 Aurelians and 57 monarchs to go - plenty to keep you in the game!
It's all good Daniel! What is your focus anyway? Have YOU joined the Dark Side yet?
Sorry for the short response earlier - I had a short break in class. Historians (not necessarily numismatists) tend to split the Middle Ages up...
500-1500 for Middle Ages/medieval. 500-1000 for early Middle Ages (which some call 'dark ages')
I'm not sure I follow Daniel. People often use 'the dark ages' to mean the time period roughly from 500-1000. It's a time period which lacks...
As I said before, we medievalists hate the term.
Gah! You said the 'D-A' words!
If you need a defined cut-off, I have always used 500-1500 for the medieval period just for simplicity's sake. You've read all the arguments...
Of course, that does mean my grandmother was 0 for 3 in her ancient coin purchases... Kinda makes me sad for her. Now I'm a little afraid to...
Gotcha! Well, I've never claimed to be good with the Greek coins... Thanks for the input guys
Great - thanks guys! I'll double check Wildwinds (I was only looking under the listing of Valens coins) and try your method too Doug. Mind...
I'm in the process of trying to reorganize coins I bought years ago and fully attribute them. Previously I was happy to just have the ruler's...
This was just a one-year design. If you missed it in 2014 (like I did, sadly), then it likely won't be around again. The Brittania proof coins...
I somehow messed up the formatting of my reply - here it is again: I won't speak for the rest of these coins, but let me tell you about Richard...
Well, my newest guy is the only in use I have, and I'm fairly certain you guys have seen it lately... (But I like it, so here it is again) [ATTACH]
I can't speak for the ancients, but at least in Medieval England (and likely elsewhere in Europe), the mint was a place where people could bring...
Okay, I have two lowly examples of a she-wolf (and not enough time to try for decent photos, so pleas forgive me) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks guys - I may have paid a little more than I really wanted, but I just felt like I couldn't let this one get away. Just wish we could learn...
