When I started collecting ancient coins, «nobody» collected Byzantine coins, and least of all bronzes. It seems like that has changed, and that...
I rarely see population numbers for ancient coins. Only when it’s lower than 10. It must be next to impossible to make any serious estimate unless...
We should have a thread displaying our small personal museums. I’m curious about how the surroundings look for the rest of you when you are...
That’s how I live too. The older things, the better. Dining table from the 1930s, old and useless FM/MW radios, musical instruments, books, art,...
I like those display stands, and consider buying a few for thtradrachms that are too thick for my quadrum capsule/coin box system. I only keep...
Great pick up! I would definitely have paid 80 too. They are really neat coins.

I got a coin lot that I bought from Rauch today. 7 Roman coins and 2 Byzantine. The Roman coins were pretty "meh", apart from a Licinius with Sol...
And rightfully so!
I got this one the other day. 8 danish kroner for a Vespasian denarius. That's about a dollar. I think the envelope is a collectible in itself....
I love Gorgoneion coins. Yours is a very nice example. While you wait for better numismatic times, I recommend reading up on some of the most...
