Great coins, @panzerman. Wow. Do you happen to know why the wildman motive was chosen in the first place? I used to have this Thaler, but I...
This is a great coin, I think. You rarely see Otho coins with such a bold strike on both sides; the reverse is often weak. I actually feel quite...
Am I up next then? [ATTACH]
I get that feeling from time to time too, but it is kinda understandable: You pay as much money as you can afford for a coin (money) that has no...
Fun thread. Is the last one 8 pesos 1862 from Honduras? https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces25462.html
Interesting! It seems like old fakes that one hoped would be sorted out by now keep showing up like bad pennies. Probably lots of old Black Sea...
Well, I disagree 100% :D But good luck on ebay! It’s probably a little less complicated if you live in the same country as the buyer/seller.
I agree about the silver fractions. There’s no end to them, right? How many thousand Kyzikus obols are left from 2500 years ago, I wonder.... I’m...
I often find myself agreeing 100% with @medoraman . I think the last thing he said here is a very good reason to have at least a few more venues...
I have been watching the market closely this summer, hoping for a good deal or two. Prices may have come off a little on some areas, and...
I get the impression that the diggers who find these bronze coins sometimes cut the thick patina with a pick or knife, probably in order to check...
[ATTACH] I dare say that this coin has been cleaned (dist. water and a light brush), but not smoothed. Verified by the cleaner (me) :)
That would be a nice bracelet to wear while serving some fruit in this bowl: [ATTACH]
Nice one, @Ocatarinetabellatchitchix ! I have a few heroic busts from the Adoptive emperors too. Looks like that was a favoured style early in...
Congratulations, nice catch! I attended the auction. Martin Schøyen was really an advanced collector of ancient coins. What a selection! I got one...
[ATTACH] It feels kinda mandatory to have a coin with the name Appius Claudius. I always liked the Roma portrait on this issue. Congrats @ominus1 !
I had the same reaction. But then I thought «ok, but coin collectors are a strange breed anyway». Perhaps the technology Mr. O’Dowd is developing...
I believe this is what most of us think, here on the dark side. That, plus historical context, and of course «if I can aafford it» pretty much...
Really great additions, @Egry Two Gordian I and II coins, wow... I have added quite a lot of coins, but few expensive ones. Most have been...
Two really nice books posted. Congrats with the new one, @Ocatarinetabellatchitchix ! Today I could pick up a SNG at the post office myself: SNG...
