The last one is for my daughter. She is only two but she loves coins. She cried last night because she couldn't take her coins to bed with her Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The Mailman was very nice to me yesterday! I didn't think they would all come at once and now every other day will be a let down, lol!
First purchase of 2014. It has a couple of cool die cracks on the reverse. One goes all the way across from 11:00 to 2:00 and another at 3:00. This is the BD-1 variety, only 75-100 have survived.
TRV, that's a super group of coins you got. That half has nice color an all 3 have nice strikes, good job.
Latest addition is a Tetricus I. Majority are always scraps but I felt this had a good strike on both sides, usually one side is better then the other. Tetricus I (271 - 274 A.D.) Æ Antoninianus O: IMP TETRICVS P F AVG, radiate cuirassed bust right. R: HILARITAS AVGG,Hilaritas standing left holding palm frond in right, cornucopia in left. Mainz or Treveri (Trier) mint 273 -274 A.D. 1.8g 19mm RIC V 80, Cohen 57, SRCV III 11237
after looking through the thread, i think i need to work on my photography skillset. anyways, i picked these up out of a customer-dumped collection at my bank over the weekend. there may be more pieces hiding in there, so i'm going back into the coin counter today to look for more. 1871 3-cent nickel and 1856 half dime
