I guess the both of us can rest well tonight knowing that the likelihood of either of our two coins being fake copies is about as likely as the...
Thanks. Yours looks a little better than mine.
I recently picked this up as a throw in by the other side in a trade. I think it is a well worn sestertius of Marcus Aurelius but my eyes not...
The 1982 third edition has a blue cover on it while the 1988 fourth edition has a red one. Either one is an excellent source/companion. The...
I prefer 1/48 scale for aircraft. And the A-10 is not quite (I think) historic past times as it is still in use (I think).

Do they use anything on them?
And to me, all those Kings of Cappadocia look as alike to me as all those pyramids, ziggurats, temple and tombs of antiquity and never ending...
It seemed odd to me to see the Emperor Constantine labelled as a "saint". I assume the Constantine on the coin is Constantine the Great, 4th...
Hmm. Both Tunisia and Turkey. Considering that an item comes from what is today Tunisia but centuries ago was part of the Ottoman Turkish Empire...
I have never seen one like that.
We just had a thread on this about two weeks ago (12/26/19) with images of before and after using micro-crystalline silicates.
