NumisWiki / 403 Error editing pages
« Last post by esnible on Yesterday at 09:15:59 pm »
I tried to edit https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/edit.asp?key=Vainberg and got a "403 Forbidden" response when I clicked Save.  Is editing still available?  Do I need to do something to my settings to enable it?

Coin of the Day / Re: Forum purchase o' the day
« Last post by Tracy Aiello on Yesterday at 08:51:29 pm »
…and another great Forum Purchase O’ The Day: another medal related to Lord Admiral Horatio Nelson. This one commemorates the wreck of HMS Foudroyant in 1897, Lord Nelson’s flagship from June 6, 1799 until the end of June 1800 (so Wikipedia tells me). This medal was made from the copper that sheathed the ship's hull.

One of the many things that attracted me to this medal was the fact that a former owner (I assume) attached a pendant loop to it. Was it worn for some time around someone’s neck? Such a loop, to me, is evidence that the medal “had a life”, perhaps as someone’s accouterment.

Thanks for looking: https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=186328

Ancient and Medieval Coin Identification Help / Zoilus II half chalkous?
« Last post by Skyler on Yesterday at 06:35:57 pm »
 In hand it appears to be an elephant facing left and on the other side a figure standing. Similar style to a chalkous of Zoilus II but it weighs half of that at .8 grams. Measures about 8mm. Thank you
