Anyone have any idea what happened to the hoard? We could all examples from it if it was subtlety dispersed to the trade. Another interesting...
Hey OJ, it’s a Roman AE tessera, circa first century. There are 12 different letter/monogram/galley combinations in this enigmatic series some of...
Saw the title and thought you meant something like this. [ATTACH]
Not in sear, vagi, sayles, or klawans as far as I can tell. The only similar source I didn’t check was van meter. The price quoted suggests 70s or...

Got this message today. In effect, most of he ancients were withdrawn! This was my first time bidding in one of their sales. Needless to say, I...
Last I was aware, Barry Murphy was the numismatist at Triskeles. Barry knows his stuff so I would be very cautious about dismissing the...
