tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 4186 Posts	Posted 07/21/2018 1:36 pm Gorgeous gold! I'm going WAY in the other direction. What's that phrase? "Warts and all" Apparently King Stefan Batory of Poland didn't care if the mint engravers were brutally honest in their portraits. On this trojak minted in Riga, you can see a hairy wart on his right cheek. The condition still makes it eye candy to me! Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 4186 Posts	Posted 07/21/2018 3:03 pm Nice. Unusual design. My oldest Polish royal, Boleslaus II, minted 1070-76 (too bad for the nick, but it probably saved me a couple of hundred dollars) Edited by tdziemia 07/21/2018 3:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1779 Posts	Posted 07/23/2018 06:52 am This might not count as eye candy to everyone but it is to me.... The Eastern coinage of Septimius Severus has an odd sub-series of COS II coins that have a variety of spelling errors. There is some evidence that they are separate to the normal COS II issue. Here is one of these obverse dies with a range of reverse types that I have managed to obtain over the years. It counts as eye candy to me... Obverse legend is IMP CA L SE SEV PER AG COS II Martin Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 4186 Posts	Posted 07/23/2018 10:09 am Interesting series with some real gems! And the thought comes to mind that we could have a thread just on interesting beards. Edited by tdziemia 07/23/2018 10:10 am Report this Post to the Staff

(Even if you aren't Doug Smith - and you probably aren't - I suspect that he would have been proud of you for having such a set.) Report this Post to the Staff
