  1. Maybe Erich needs one of the Lincoln's for his exhibit
  2. You are right Ian, thanks. That makes more sense in this context.
  3. Is that a staff of Aesclepius with the shaking hands and the cornucopia?
  4. It's interesting how these proto coins were spreading on the periphery of the Greek world while silver was spreading around the Agean
  5. There's two 1525 coins for sale on ebay right now
  6. That's a cool medal. Perhaps it was related to some sort of Bourbon restoration under Louis XVIII or Charles X.
  7. You probably know more about these than anyone else
  8. Has anyone bought the new book by Harlan Berk yet?
  9. This I got in Baltimore. It will be part of my "Centuries Set" the historical edition.
  10. I may have a Hamburg Schilling from 1726, have to find it though.
  11. You could just buy a few coins to help this along
  12. An 1880s IH cent, and I think an 1883 nickel once
  13. As it turns out of you rotate the reverse 90 degrees you can see a figure on the left. This ends up being a follis of Justin II at Carthage overstruck on an issuue of Justinian I at the same mint.
  14. This is an ugly but interesting coin. It was overstruck, but what's off is the iconography on the obverse. The cross between the two figures was used at Antioch. However, the globus cruciger was not a feature of that mint. Also, the figures don't seem to be seated and they are not even (the left is higher) neither of these things is unheard of but all in all it makes for an odd coin.
  15. An interesting story so far dvana. This will make for a great article some day. I would think you'll almost have to go back to the source and find someone who is willing and able to do the research. The Melbourne mint may have some old records. There may also be some contemporary mention of an event that would explain the existence of the coin.
  16. I won't be a smart a** and post something with regnal dating I don't hae anything really old in Anno Domini
  17. What do you do with the extra copies?
  18. What's the time frame on the history?
