Nice op coins. I like both but I like the second one the best. Well scored indeed.
Nice score indeed and a nice coin. I still don't own a RR Denarius yet.
It's definitely a fantasy coin that uses a pressing technique to make the coin, rather than cast. The reverse is a imitation of a Roman...
What's up with all that bling!!? lol I don't own a gold coin myself because of course they can be very expensive, even the cheapest ones. Nice op...
It's almost as cold here at 26F/-3C.

I have ran into a problem a few times with the coin looking a lot different and there was a problem for me.
Yeah, it can be difficult to get those photos right. I have purchased coins from you and they are pretty close to how they appeared to me to the...
That seems kind of strange to me since most of the silver ancient coins displayed have been completely cleaned down to the bone, so to speak.
Those are indeed very good points and ones that I think about as well. I do realize that dealers ain't necessarily trying to deceive. Some have...
That's very true and I think beginners should know this as soon as possible. Even with the photo I took of this coin, the color is right but the...
A friend that plays Star Trek Online with me showed me the article about those coins. I was like, I already know about it. lol But I was...
