I don't "collect" per-se but after almost 20 years in the Navy, I've amassed quite a few :)
Awesome! I'd have jumped on that Marc Antony for $20 as well as the Crasius for $30. Great pick ups. You are getting me hyped for my first coin...
If I'm reading the legend on the right correctly, which it's entirely possible I'm not...It reads (Β)ΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΝΤ(Ι)ΟΧΟΥ (Θ)ΕΟΥ (ΕΠΙΦ)ΑΝΟΥΣ and it...
@GinoLR I hadn't even thought of Byzantine coins when I started this! They have plenty of designs with multiple portraits. I really like your...

My suggestions (chainsaw and flamethrower) were better. :)

Anyone care to send a plane ticket my way? I will happily attend :) I haven't been to London since I moved away in 2004. :( That city is my...
@Fin235 Those are some great coins. All of them. The limes denarius, Gadhaiya, and the GLORIA EXERCITVS are my favorites.
You mean to tell me that the US mint has poor quality control? Color me not shocked at all. Since, like @-jeffB said, the packages are easy to...
With those flow lines I am leaning more towards a worn die strike vice a greaser.
I've only had a few occasions in my near 20 years to grow a "beard". No more than a few weeks at a time. My wife says that it's a good thing...
