The club above the knucklebone on this cast uncia gives it an interesting 3 line design on obverse and reverse. It weighs 19.6 grams.

Carlos III 8-Real 1772-V Potosi mint at the NYINC. The dealer's English was limited. I asked the price (it is under my finger) and if he would take a check. He said yes, but started waiving his hands when I opened my checkbook. A bilingual guy behind me said he meant the price was for cash.

coin show finds: The Kleopatra VII, 51 - 30 BC, Ptolemaic Kingdom is graded About Good, Scarce. I call it a good find.
The denarii with a high relief of Pompey the Great was struck by his son Sextus Pompey. It is a busy coin on the reverse, but most of the letters can be read or guessed.

Wow, the ANS is moving from NYC to Toledo, Ohio. They have excellent cast bronze and scale weight collections. Shown below is a 1 As, 1.5 Uncia & 4 Scruple weight issued during Trajan's reign. @profyarrow.bsky.social @andrewahala.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/a...

I saw an interesting 35 gram cast bronze 1 Uncia (1/10th As) coin last weekend. The seller said: Rostrum tridens l., pellet to r. I think the prow is pointed right with the dot to the left. @sdecasien.bsky.social do you confirm the prow is right? @profyarrow.bsky.social

I picked up two cast bronze pieces. Both are missing about 30%. They should be from about 250 BC, but look like modern fakes:
