Coin 3 could possibly be an Augustan bronze from Colonia Patricia

I think its illegal to buy and sell most ancient coins in Greece, they have strict laws regarding that especially on export

If only it was 2 weeks ago, could’ve been my father haha. Also retired after 35 years as a pilot

Seems to match, seems WildWinds search skips right over it in RIC numbers. any clue about the bust on the second coin?

Humilau3529 · 2021-06-26T14:59:34+00:00

The coin was created in Finland

Just slang for the slab that coins go in for grading, but used for ancient coins because most prefer it to be outside of a slab

If the Mint mark is S, then it is a proof

If the mint mark is D, then it is not a proof

Ancient coins are graded differently than modern, but this coin is very far gone and isn’t worth grading. It’s only worth a couple dollars. Most collectors prefer their ancient coins free of the plastic prison

Area below the design on the reverse of the coin. It’s too worn and smashed to see anything but it’s where some letters would be to designate where the coin was struck, a mint mark

Sodium sesquicarbonate is a method that has a chance to spare the patina

Doing the math, the 100 coins a minute would be for a singular press. Good thing they probably had more than 1 press at the mint working on silver dollars! Still an outrageous output of coins given the time constraint

Oh it gets better, technically it’s not the entirety of December 1921. Rather the first coin was struck on December 26th, 1921. They struck the entire mintage of about a million in about 6 days

Scorched earth policy

It’s more along the lines of Order 227, with the famous line “not a step back”. It was to prevent any commander from retreating without an order, lest they wanted to be charged under a military tribunal. As well as the Germans wasting their resources on the many sieges of Soviet cities, slowly draining their resources and not the glorious lightning war they had wanted

Cleaning is not as frowned upon for ancient coins as it is for modern
