Henri Charriere Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I wonder if the '88 quarter and '88 half were owned by the same person at one time or other. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old Red Books don't do it any justice. There is pronounced definition to the stars and numbers. I would imagine something this fine would be extraordinarily rare. Great find!

Thank you @Mohawk for starting this thread. I love silver coins. Hopfully this thread will stay alive. You are so welcome Hog!!! I'm glad you are enjoying it!! And thank you to you and everyone else who has participated, as well! I also love silver coins....no matter how many other coins I own, my favorite remains the silver Roman denarius, even with Quintus being as tickled by orichalcum as he is!! I'd love to see this thread get pinned....I hope people are sharing their silver treasures here years from now!!

Very easy setting to change. Also, Image Stabilization ON (probably already is but make sure). Do that and it should improve the clarity. If you are having a reflection issue...do NOT take the pics from directly above, angle the coins against something at likea 30-degree angle and snap the pics from in front of them and not above.

Popular Post Mohawk Posted September 2, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) My latest pickup....Jonathan (JKK) turned me onto this one, so I have to give him major props here!!! This is a silver denarius of Faustina the Younger, RIC# 712. It is one of the more difficult lifetime issues of Faustina to find.....I've been looking for this denarius for a while: Edited September 2, 2021 by Mohawk Mr_Spud, Lem E, CIII and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CIII Posted September 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2021 I found this silver Denarius, and had to have it.

I've always wondered whether anyone would be able to figure that out. I do not even know if he is aware his name and accomplishments have permeated the internet. Officially, I am through buying. Never had relatives, my background is shrouded in an impenetrable historical mist, both my parents are deceased, I had no trouble predicting either sibling would marry.. In short, NGC is my extended family as I do not have heirs. My wife? I asked her what's at the North Pole. She said: I don't know. I asked her if there was a sign there, reading North Pole. She guessed, yes. I asked her if anyone had had seen it. She said, yes, but had no idea why such a sign may have put it there, why, or who might see it. She never knew man had been to the moon years ago. She only had two questions: "How did they get there?" and "what did they see?" Attn: Moderators... forgive me. I love my wife!
