Another one of my Baltimore purchases. I picked it up for $5. It was listed as Vespasian but nothing else. I figured with that much, I could work...
Awesome :) I really enjoyed my visit to Pompeii. I wish I knew more of the history when I visited.
Thanks @dougsmit for the extra insight! You always have a lot of great information to share. Now that I know where to focus, I can definitely see...
Nice example @dougsmit ! It's nice to see what my example used to look like. Any thoughts on the mark along the reverse? Damage or possibly a...
The coin you showed has been reprocessed/replated. You won't be able to do anything to the ones that haven't been touched. They will show signs of...
Having seen another thread in which @medoraman posted a great write up on different Byzantine Anonymous Follis, I decided to work on one that...
My son and I worked on 2 different coins today. One pertaining to this thread and another pertaining to the coins we picked up in Baltimore....
Hey @Cheech9712, I was chosen for this coin but if you are interested in ancients, send me a PM and I can send you a couple of mine to get you...

So apparently this is not a modern fake, but an ancient counterfeit. I picked it up at the Baltimore Whitman show last month. I grabbed it because...
I didn't realize it had been 10 days since my last post on here (not that I think anyone cares haha). I was pretty sure when I bought this that I...
I like it! haven't seen too many FEL TEMP's that aren't fallen horesmen. It's nice to have the reminder that there are other reverses with the...
All I can say is...wow. This is completely unexpected. Of course I will accept and will do my best to pay it forward. As it stands right now, I...
That is a linear plating bubble. Plated cents do not have lamination errors.
Absolutely beautiful strike on that FEL TEMP @Sulla80. A great piece to a collection even though it is broken. @TypeCoin971793 it hurts my heart...
Very cool coin! I've seen a few elephants on here since starting with ancients and I always enjoy them. What a great give away @Orfew ! I don't...
That is one of those experimental two thirds cents that the mint was toying around with making back around the time of the switch from copper to...
