    Congrats!

    I haven't submitted any coins to wildwinds myself, but have owned at least two that are featured there currently

    Roman republic as cluvius saxula.jpg

    Republican Saxula AE as, possible contemporary imitation, ex CNG who sold it to @Andrew McCabe who sold on Roma to someone who turned around and consigned it to be part of a lot. Sold it on ebay to keep the smaller bronzes for free. Wonder where it is now?


    Julius Caesar posthumous denarius

    Couldn't trace down the provenance chain, and also sold that one because I really, really was hoping I could score a lifetime portrait for almost free that was in the same lot.

    I'd like to join the club but nothing I have (so far) meets that standard.

    @furryfrog02, I think you do have something worthy of inclusion.
    Unless it has been added by someone else your Constantine that is Not in Ric could be a candidate, worth a check just to make sure.

    Inspector43, Congratulations on entering your 2 coins with Wild Winds. I constantly use their website for research. Ironically I've got close to a dozen coins pictured on their website but have never submitted any entries myself o_O. What is the procedure for entering coins to their data base ?
