[ATTACH] If one takes the time to read our Constitution, a rare and heroic act these days, one would come across a relatively odd clause: “No...
Thanks for the post! I've been tempted to get into these several times but I was a bit put off by the high-ish price. I did not know about the...
I'm glad you enjoyed the article! I'm mostly interested in a specific period of history of the Ryukyu islands, before its conquest by the Satsuma....
One of my niche interests as of late has been Ryukyu Kingdom coinage. I first heard of the Ryukyus when I watched the show Samurai Champloo in...
Beautiful coins! Thanks for the shout-out. As Cicero said, if the gods gave all the power to one person to make the sun rise and set at their...
Awesome post. Thanks so much. I thought I had a full Qing dynasty set myself, but it turns out I'm missing one!
I only have a few common Constantines myself. But I can recommend David Potter's "Constantine The Emperor," an excellent scholarly treatment of...
Thanks for the great write up! Those New Orleans trimes look neat. Here's my nickel three cent, acquired at a coin show right before this COVID...
Thanks for the link Rob. I can now send this to my loved ones, and anything I do will now look sane by comparison.
First of all, great to see more interest in ancient Chinese coinage! I struggle a lot with the Hartill variations as well. I've often bought from...
I think this is a totally fair reason to be turned off by Chinese cast coinage. The fakes are just too scary to deal with. I just try to be as...
I've bought some stuff from him as well. Insane how much knowledge there is on the interweb tubes. Awesome mold, but slightly disappointed that...
Very cool! Did you see the neat paper by @TypeCoin971793 on ant noses? Here are mine. A somewhat common 1.4 (acquired from a friend of the forum)...
The Hartill is a must have! I think he says that the ones with a dots are worth around $10 compared to the more common type which is worth $5, but...
I love the ant nose in particular. Any reason that Ken no longer on here? I'm a little late to the game but did see his vcoins store, though it...
Looks like according to Hartill, the left dot is type 14.13 and is slightly rarer than the normal type.
Is that a mint-related dot I see in the bottom left corner?
I skimmed too quickly and missed "script" after Mongolian.
Envious of people with access to those ONS auctions. I do think the Nurhaci coin is in Manchurian, as opposed to Mongolian.
Late to the thread, but neat and similar syncretic statute in the Harvard Art Museum. A horse statute made during the Han Dynasty, notable because...
Separate names with a comma.
