Excellent quality coins and presentation! It would be very nice if an auction house put out a group lot like that, I might even be tempted to bid!;)
I think the protocol, to use the 1960's vernacular, is whatever turns you on. Some folks post threads on specific periods, such as Roman...
That siglos has a really nice obverse!
Perhaps I'll give Wise.com a try one of these days.
Wonderful coins! The Class II owl is very elusive, one that I have been trying to acquire, but without any luck. I'd go to Walmart in an...
I would recommend Paypal, or Wise.com, although I never used that service, so it's a qualified recommendation. Wire transfer fees are costly, and...
The horn silver removal was very successful, especially with the good surfaces underneath. Often times there is corrosion or a lattice-like...
An exquisite coin, Victor.
I like #5, the Constantine I from Arles. That coin has a very nice, expressive portrait for the period, one that is punctuated by stiff, flatly...
All nice examples. I like the Postumus antoninianus the most - very good centering, die work and decent metal - a choice coin.
A very nice coin! It seems that Alexandria, with its skilled die engravers, produced many of the better Roman provincial coins, in terms of...
The closest match that I found in my very brief search is this: Umayyad Caliphate, Arab-Byzantine: Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan (685-705 CE) Æ Fals,...
A very rare imitative owl, at that!

Thanks. Both coins are generally outside my collecting fields, but if I like a coin, and I won't need to take a loan out against the house,...
That's a very nice classical owl. The quality is very good and I think it would easily grade as a nice EF, if not higher. The strike is...
Thank you all for letting me know about the survey problem. This is the first time that I set up a survey, and I was running on negative power...
I goofed. I edited the form to allow up to three votes.
Sorry! It was late last night, and I didn't change the number of votes allowed from one to three. I made that change just now, so I hope it works.
My near infatuation with owls continued this year, unabated. I am not sure if this is a terminal condition, or if the prognosis is more benign; I...
