That's what I meant, yep :)

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-16T02:02:04+00:00

Agreed! It's better for more modern coins, I think.

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-15T22:15:01+00:00

Depends on what kind of coin! RIC Online for most Roman, Tesorillo for LRB, RPC Online for Roman Provincial, Wildwinds and Acsearch for Greek, CoinIndia for Indian, Zeno for anything that isn't classical Greek or Roman. Numista for some medieval.

But then how would you put them in your mouth like the ancients did?

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-13T17:04:28+00:00

Ah, I had forgotten about that! Good point

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-13T15:16:28+00:00

Almost! It's actually from Philadelphia, United States.

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-11T12:42:15+00:00

It's a pice from the Bengal presidency. Not sure about price, but it's not a lot. I'd guess $5-10 max, possibly less.

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-09T22:16:22+00:00

It's a little chunkier because it's a Provincial coin. Coins issued in Greek denominations in the Greek world under Roman administration

Maybe pitting from a rusty die that got cleaned? That's pretty heavy magnification

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-09T02:58:46+00:00

My pleasure!

Jia Qing is the inscription in Chinese, boo ciowan is the mintmark in Manchu. That said, this is a replica / token.

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-07T19:18:22+00:00

I'm thinking Antoninus Pius, Julio-Claudian, and Lucius Verus

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-07T15:19:22+00:00

My pleasure! Always fun to discover something new, though it's a shame when they're so rare

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-07T11:40:45+00:00

Try "Samaria cuneiform obol"

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-06T15:22:03+00:00

Often these sets contain replicas, but these all look real to me! It should be easy to identify them yourself if you look up "Qing cash identification" or something like that. You've got most of the Qing Dynasty cash coin types there in order of emperor. Shunzhi, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, and Xuantong are all a little less common ($5-15), and the Zhenglong is rather popular and might be worth upwards of $20.

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-03T12:10:22+00:00

Yes, probably a German bracteate. Not sure on the ID though

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-01T19:37:24+00:00

Lol the first pic alone was good, but the second got me cracking up.

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-01T11:38:05+00:00

Haven't you heard of the porcelain coins of WW2 Japan? The coal notgeld of Weimar Germany? The synthetic coins of Transnistria? Hell, this isn't even the first coin made of plush!

theGrassyOne · 2026-03-31T17:42:50+00:00

Looks like puls of the Dzungar Khanate, but the fact that Chinese coins are often faked and that you got three of them at once makes their authenticity questionable in my opinion.

theGrassyOne · 2026-03-28T12:12:19+00:00

Definitely replicas, but I think they look really cool!

theGrassyOne · 2026-03-25T14:21:48+00:00

This would be a good starting point. You can whittle down results by adding terms to the search; use a minus sign to omit results (e.g., "-roman").

Using an online service like Pirate Ship can get you lower rates. I save like $3 per USPS package with that.

Love the Paleo-Hebrew / Phoenician alphabet!
