My wife collected bells and still has them but rarely gets more as the hobby is dying with the generation who collected them. Fifty years ago she...
I have no issue with the garbage heap (Sikhote-alin shrapnel?) but wonder about what was done to 'process' fossils to make them look like that....
I'm an Eastern fan so 7 and 5 top the list to me.
I don't collect these but I have no interest in coin that do not show the moneyer. I understand many people are more interested in catalog...
Maybe not what you wanted but this countermark of a bull is labeled Luy which is Aramaic for Ba'al. [IMG] Next: more Ba'al
I did not say that. You may never see gold ones but some Byzantine AE are rarely found NOT overstruck. Some/many are real messy. This may be my...

My goal for 2021 is to avoid buying coins I would not have bought under 'normal' circumstances. I have fewer coin today than I did at the start...
This is most certainly true and it might be possible to find very similar examples for twice the high price and be difficult to find someone to...
I wish I could help you but I can not help myself with my similar coin. Mine came with the ID as AH 185 and the 1 and 8 match yours as does the...
I assume you noticed they were different officinae but did you notice that your obverse shows three knots on the crown ties while mine has four....
I have mine as Ticinum RIC 447 but i do not recall how I came to that. I got it in 2000 from Stacks and that was before we had OCRE:...
Abel on London could be John or Henry III. I'm not good enough with these to tell from the remaining obverse.
[IMG] As I recall the story, George Washington and many of his 300 men crossing the Delaware river to attach the Hessians in Trenton probably had...
The color of #1 strikes me as light if the coin has not been cleaned for centuries. Is there anything known about what, perhaps, the Abbey of St....
