Some great coins in the thread. I have a couple of the Arabia drachms that aren't too terrible, but this is my newest, so I'll share it - a...
Nice coin and very informative write up. I have the "XI" version: [ATTACH] Domitian Æ As (85 A.D.) Rome Mint IMP CAES DOMITIAN AVG GERM COS XI,...

I remember back around 1988 you could buy Fat Man dollars from US dealers for about $8 - they are really, really common. This is before the...
Very interesting - thanks for posting this, even with the bad news on authenticity. A few years ago I read somewhere - and I am sorry but I...
A lot of eBay auctions are poorly photographed, which is an advantage to a bidder, if you are willing to take a risk. Below is an unusual lot I...
The description of "cabinet toning" is helpful - I've always been a bit confused about this. I recall reading somewhere that the contrast between...
