Vfox Posted August 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Picked up a new coin for the 8 reale collection recently. Just waiting for it to arrive. Also has it really been so many years since I've updated this? Jeesh, lol. I have gotten plenty of other coins... I should image them... Meh.

Vfox Posted August 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Oh I've been skulking around for years, I just don't own a real computer anymore so I don't spend much time on forums. But I'm around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vfox Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Got a oddball thing off eBay this week. Just have a look, lol. And yes, I will be trying to remove the pot metal solder in my studio. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I was gonna ask... still do metalworking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 That's quite a piece! Will you be able to salvage all the coins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Yep I still do metalworking. Not as often as I'd like but I do it now and then. I'm hoping to salvage all of them but it'll be a challenge because of the temperature that this junk solder melts at. Basically I need to flow it off the pieces by introducing an extremely hot solder pick to it when it's molten. The solder always goes to the hottest point.

Art1.2 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 That's an interesting find. Keep us informed, I'd love to see the end results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banivechi Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 You have a unique piece of medieval harness/clothing ornament. Please don't ruin it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 The application and type of solder is not contemporary to the period. It's likely from the early to mid 1900's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vfox Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Nice Bohemond III piece, Vfox! Here's one I used to own, if it gives you any more info. Nice, that's quite a bit better than what I got. And yes that helps quite a bit on the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 No real reason other than they just kinda spoke to me. Lol Best reason there is. I always come home from the Ohio State show with a couple that fit that category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Two tiny tiny Ottoman Empire coins. I really don't know jack about these. If I'm holding them right, or what they say. But...they were $3 each so I thought they'd make a nice oddball item. Any info on these would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Those are coins or *part* of coins?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted June 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 As far as I know they are full coins. They are paper thin however, they remind me a lot of the US silver trime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 They're neat. I've seen them at shows a few times but never had any in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
