If it were mine, I wouldn't do anything with it - I think it looks great the way it is. A lot of Roman Republican denarii are "white" - yours has...
All three of those are a great start to a great hobby.
A few scratches never bothered me much - I still like that coin. Great toning, too.
When searching for "snake" it is good to look for "serpent" too. The words are used interchangeably on a lot of sites. Panthers and lions make...
Keep complaining for sure. In the age of electronic communication, 9 weeks is too long for excuses.
Here is Liber/Bacchus on a Roman Republican denarius - sorry for the worse than-usual-photo - it has been harshly cleaned and is very shiny:...
My collection is mostly low-grade, so I'd definitely keep it - especially for the intact galley on the reverse and a respectable portrait. I like...

You definitely got the fever, RC. Those are some lovely countermarks - I veered close to one of those Syrian laurel branches recently, but got...
I really like that eagle, Orielensis. The fact it is a bit on the lower-grade side just shows it works hard - and countermarks often got a...
Thanks for noticing my error, Doug. Whenever I try to attribute a coin, I "triangulate" from various sources. The source where I got pentassaria...
Hope you all have been having a nice Labor Day weekend - despite the rumored hotdog shortage. As if we didn't have enough problems already! It's...
