Very nice. There's some other Islamic cash-style coins from this area as well.
Yup, I cataloged that coin! You probably dont know/care, but your coin is notable due to its unusually thick fabric. This suggests that it does...
I've been intending to share this piece for a little while now. The obverse shows a Horse running left, with the palm frond of victory below, and...
Philip I, Philip II, Otacilia Severa, Trajan Decius, Herennius Etruscus, and Herennia Etruscilla ruled during one of the peaks in tetradrachm...
Thank you. I had known that these were produced in the area of modern day Bulgaria, but this is the first I have seen hoard evidence that...
These are fake. None of them match the common shapes and styles that I have seen. Additionally, the metal is wrong, and it lacks the usual bubbles...
I'm surprised that no one has commented on the most interesting aspect of this coin. Tabaristan was an outlying province of the Umayyad Empire...
The Umayyad and early 'Abbasid coinage generally does not bear the caliph's name, though in some cases you can find the name of his intended...
Nope, it's a total fantasy. Fake as they come.
A 1944 San Francisco issue wouldn't have been thrown in the bay. This is an interesting piece. If it is a cast counterfeit, then its higher...
I am not sure if they use the catalog you cite, but they should be able to identify the coin as nickel, rather than aluminum or brass. But in...
Honestly, the first place I would check would be the reference on coins excavated from the Kashmir-Smast caves. If the obverse were more clearly...
You look NOTHING like your avatar. I'm disappointed.
Funny one, teff.
Almost enough BS to be a numismatic cataloger. Almost.
@AncientJoe - it really is an unbelievable collection. Back in January, as I was having a drink with Dr. Adams, we were talking about the sale of...
That is actually exactly what I meant. The US has memoranda of understanding with certain countries that prohibit the import into the US of what...
The market for lower value coins (less than $300) might be stagnating a bit, but the higher value stuff is at least holding steady. I wonder if...
I am surprised that nobody here recognized that this is a pre-Vagi era NGC slab, and thus pretty much complete crap. HAB, to put it in more modern...
I'll look this afternoon.
Separate names with a comma.
