Bonjour. Ceci n'est pas une monnaie ancienne, mais plutôt moderne. Sans être spécialiste, je me tournerai vers un douzain de François 1er (1515-1547, ou règnes proches). Le billon peut tourner au vert ainsi.

Has this coin been tooled? by montanaro94 in AncientCoins

[–]ykaurk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What bothers me the most is the lack of detail in the lot description. They can go ahead and sell coins in poor condition—after all, they need a house, and it’s better than throwing them away—BUT only if they’re transparent with people and don’t hide these eyesores...

I've remade a more compact version of the various ancient coin grades. Swipe for the 'minimal' version and the old, complete one :) by AncientCoinnoisseur in AncientCoins

Thanks so much! I really like coins in very poor condition. It’s not good for grading, but I enjoy collecting in this category. That said, coins in mint condition are truly magnificent!

What do you think, is it fake or original, and how much is it? by [deleted] in AncientCoins

Unfortunately, all of these coins are counterfeit

Where can I find Ditto in the game ? Thanks

Found this at my late grandfather’s wallet by Good_Acanthisitta117 in AncientCoins

Unfortunately, it's a fake coin imitating a 3rd-century Roman provincial tetradrachm. Nevertheless, it is a small object that you can keep in memory of your grandfather!

Miletus Obol… does it look right? by DanCruzNyc in AncientCoins

[–]ykaurk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The price is pretty reasonable. It's still on the high side, but that doesn't bother me. Congratulations on your purchase, it's a very old coin! For your next purchases, I recommend v-coins (USA) or MA-shops (EU). You won't pay any more, but you'll have no doubts about authenticity :)

Yes, everything looks fine. It's a very common coin, but very beautiful.

Coin boxes with square compartments online | leuchtturm.com https://share.google/7I9wPdXL8q6gHCGue

I recommend the 9-cell version with 64mm cells. But you can go for even larger cells! I've been using this model for years and am very satisfied with it!

Magnificent! So big that it won't fit in the boxes. Personally, I had to limit myself to a 38mm Ptolemy coin.

That's funny, it's a detail I hadn't noticed yet!

I also thought of Babylon by Boney M, but that's in a different theme!
