We need to keep on supporting this petition and spreading the word. What could happen in one country could spread to another. It would be an absolute travesty. Hope all are well!

That is a beautiful coin! Love love it!

Bargain and very nice!

Great reply. Astonished to read from the beginning of this thread! I use Freeman for lots of my research. Good to see the passion is still there at 75. Long may it continue.

Would be one I would love to add to my collection! Here are some of the others, nice to see a fresh old collection

That goes in Dorset too!

Ah yes, I like it. Love a 1902 Crown, still under rated in top grades I think

I think you're right. Is that a 1905 in you avi?

I've often thought that with Roman coins in general, especially silver. If you were so inclined, even if a beginner in coin collecting you could amass a fair collection. Do you think the demand is becoming less for Roman, or is that too general?

The reverse is nice on yours. I just think if you want a piece of Roman coin history in your hand, this is what I'd choose!

Julius Caesar, Denarius. Military mint traveling with Caesar, 49-48 BC. I have always loved this type. So happy it came in the other week for sale along with a whole collection of over 100 Denarii. Contained in a lovely Victorian cabinet, perfect! Just thought I'd share it as its a nice example. Cheers, Tim

That's the one! Pretty tatty but will still be a good read!

Who is the author please Tim?It was printed by Sangster And Fletcher, Paternoster-Row, London. No author listed. It's known as 'The Pictorial Museum', great title.

Just reliving my teenage years through this book. I bought it when I was about 17, it's fantastic, mainly because of the engravings. It is Volume II of 'Old England' printed in 1854. Lots of coins, portraits and architecture, ties it in all nicely! Worth getting hold of if you can, even if it is just to look at the Victorian coin engravings. Cheers, Tim

Thanks Paulus! We have a similar area of interest then. Excellent! Looking forward to seeing your posts too. Thank you for the welcome!
