Yep, agreed. Anyway 3rd century is not my first choice. I prefer 1st and 2nd century and I would gladly prefer to spend 150 EUR on 2 or 3 coins...
Very nice coins. I like the Galba and Otho examples. Completing the 12 Caesar set is a good milestone. But even if I don't intend to specialize...
No, I was just not paying attention when writing the initial post. The coins weren't attributed by this auction house, they tend to forget this...

Congrats to the winner and as I said, I wasn't eager to win and I didn't participate hoping to get the voucher, just for fun and study. It was...

Congrats to the members who did better than me :) Although I am not convinced about the Semis question, as I found something different in the PM I...
Too much. I'm sure many people would disagree, but if I had to choose, I would pick the coin posted by @DonnaML without second thoughts. I don't...

Great coins, even if 4th century is not on my list, many here are in spectacular conditon. @DonnaML , I learned something new today, I have never...
I am not very optimistic about winning the contest, but it was great fun answering the question. Waiting for the answers and the results, of...
Do Byzantine coins count? I am not exactly sure if they need to be considered ancient or not. In school what I learned was that Middle Age starts...
14 months?! That dealer/auction house should be mentioned and avoided in the future.
Really sorry for the coin. I buy coins for about 8 years but I only had one problem, after getting a 60$ modern coin from eBay, the seller stated...
