Amazing coins, @AnYangMan. Of course, I knew them all already, and was lucky enough to see them in real life. The total lack of sceatta's is...
Well done! The green are copper oxidations, which dissolve easily in weak acids (I always use synthetic citric acid). The black depositions are...
Thanks for the comments! It really came off super easy. Still surprised the consigner didn't clean it him/herself; it would have raised the price...
Thanks all for the kind replies! I never get so much attention for a sceatta-themed post ... should post a few ancients with them next time ;)...
This coin was in the property of a seller I regularly visit. I saw it about two years ago, when I came to buy an Ambiani stater. He then casually...
This year was dynamic, to say the least. My third child, a son, was born in March, only two years and 40 minutes after the birthday of my twin,...
thanks @+VGO.DVCKS. I noted that the reverse was photographed upside down. @AnYangMan kindly took the picture, and failed to note it. What a n00b...
Interesting, @+VGO.DVCKS. I know little about these coins, you expanded my knowledge. This is a recent addition, a denier from Richard I of...
My threads on sceatta's don't really grab the attention, but this title hopefully will. @Nap suggested this sceatta from a dealer in France: I was...
I think I recognize the collectors tag! A private seller I regularly buy coins from uses the same collectors tag, and I think the writing is...
So, with some delay, I've received my wins from Heritage Europe. That is, I've not yet received the coins, which are currently residing in the...
Interesting story! What happened to Terra? She sounds like a person not to mess around with... are there coins minted in her name?
Hi [USER = 109457] @Phil French [/ USER]. Sorry, I should have stated it: the second picture is one I found online. The first is my coin. The...
Nice! The coin turned out better. I have some experience with oxalic acid. I noted that, if the solution is heated, an oily blue/greenish patina...
Thanks all for the interesting information. Also, @Phil French, thanks for providing the catalogue images. Since all the experts have already...
Really nice coin. I like the toning a lot. Your explanation and background were quite essential for me to understand why you like it. Also:...
Thanks all for the insights! I think the rarity is indicated by the number of die matches: I've found another one in CNG archives.
This denier of Bohémond III was part of a group lot that I recently acquired. It is not yet in my possession, as @AnYangMan picked it up from the...
Again, thank you @John Scholefield. Very interesting. I'll change the date to 1552 and will add the information on the mint. Could you also...
Thank you, @John Scholefield. Could you elaborate a bit on your thought process, so that I can learn from it? Also, I found about seven similar...
