Everybody doing the bickering and sniping at one another- please stop.
Indeed, English silver is rare on colonial sites here in the South. A friend of mine here has dug a few pieces (including a William III- a...
At a glance, it does not look inconsistent to me from how a hammered silver medieval coin should look (and I do own some). I am not familiar with...
Grumpy faces. Galba and Nerva seem to have both had sourpuss expressions most of the time. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Next up, Galba, Nerva, or...
Well, it’s certainly not gold, for starters. Anything more than that, I’m not qualified to say. Perhaps @TheRed or someone else better-versed in...

Thank you. I was too lazy to Google up the full set image.
Definitely nice pickups, for a buck apiece.
If by "premium", you mean a discount (negative premium), then yeah. I wouldn't go so far as @paddyman98 in saying it's the "worst toning I've...
While your skepticism is well-founded- especially as regards the coin, which looks suspect- the story itself is not automatically implausible....
Even rough, it's a Fugio, all right! And with some decent detail despite the issues. Looks better than the one and only I have owned, which was...
The modern British coin designs are quite bizarre, given that each one's design is sort of a "puzzle piece"- only part of the bigger picture....
Separate names with a comma.
