I'm not sure what's going on under this mintmark. It almost looks like a raised W (which seems odd for a clash from the recessed M that signified...
There are also some details transferred that I'm trying to figure out if come from PMD or from die damage. In particular, the AT on STATES & the...
I noticed some doubling on this coin right out the gate, but can't find the corresponding VAM. Does anything pop out for y'all? [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
I've picked up a few of the 1oz Norfed rounds, but hadn't seen a 5oz example before. Have you seen many of these? Do they carry much of a premium?...
Thought I'd give this a bump and see if it gets any fresh input.

I picked this up the other day. The seller warned me that they didn't know if it was an altered date or not, and I decided to roll the dice....
I'm trying to attribute & appraise this denarius. Any help would be appreciated because, as I mentioned earlier, I'm fairly new to Ancients. It's...
Ah. Clearrrrrrly. I have enough trouble making out the 26 characters I learned in grade school. Was totally at sea here. Thanks! The previous...
How about this one? Another billon tetradrachm? Similar reverse, with Otacilia Severa: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
