@johnmilton here is one of the recent examples as I slowly add these to the office display. I've always been on the fence about it being a proof...
And a Denver mint example at that.. Beut!
Wow, thank you so much for sharing - absolutely gorgeous examples of the type. Looking out for Matte Proof hasn't even been on my radar. So many...
I've been tempted to buy these rounds for that same reason. It'd be so nice to have a larger example of the engraving. I just love this moment in...
Type1s are most easily identified by the change Barber made months into production by removing the mound on the Reverse of the coin but something...
Over the past couple of weeks I've begun cataloging all of the 1913 5c Type1s that I've collected over the last year. Last night it was this one's...

I've been collecting ancients for about 15 years and couldn't agree more. So much access into cultures and history. Although I will likely be...
Please share any thoughts you have on collecting key date US coins as an investment rather that just strictly as a hobby. I am specifically...
Sharing a Drachm from Bruttium that arrived recently. Thank you for the resources - I'm eager to dive into them now that I have some attributing...
Somehow incorporating the void under the display for information is an awesome idea. I've tried using NFC chips that are so small they just reside...
Ah I love those acrylic trays -- I have a few myself. Thanks for sharing the way you organize.
After years of having my coins in flips and acrylic holders I decided to commission these two displays out of mahogany. Now that they are done I...
@Milo W I'm researching a coin from Bruttium myself. Were you able to find any useful online references or did you mostly use books as references?
One of my joys in collecting ancients is learning about the many cultures that shared the human experience. Thank you for sharing!
