To mark this auspicious occasion, here's a Trajan Decius double sestertius, VICTORIA AVG reverse: [ATTACH]
Ah well, this is where human adaptation and know-how can be useful. The bottom feeder approach to these auctions might be useful, if one has...
I see. Thanks for pointing that out.
A nice acquisition. Congratulations! Do you have nay information on the counterstamp? I think the flatness of part of crown is due to it...
That's a beautiful overlook. What's the location?
The Artuguids of Mardin produced bronze coinage that is remarkable for the incorporation of Western design elements and motifs. Here is one such...
Now that I look at the obverse dies, I agree. The lettering spacing spacing differs between the two dies.
There's a lot of money floating around out there, and people with newly acquired wealth (stocks, bonds, ipo's, buyouts, etc.) are looking for...
Yes, that coin is a beauty, with a hefty £8,500 hammer price. Given its rarity and grade, I guess that price does reflect the market right now,...

That's wonderful, altruistic and compassionate. People like you who support those in need are a tonic to raise the spirits and hope in these...
Thank you. I attribute all of this to fate, plain and simple. Some coins come up beautifully, others bomb out. This coin that I am working on...
Some bronzes are very problematic when it comes to cleaning, even when using the most conservative approaches. The rough and corroded surfaces...
The holder appears to be self-adhesive but of unusual dimensions. What are the dimensions?
My arse has been pre-whipped in the pre-floor auction bidding, so I'm a spectator for this time around. I can almost hear the mountain of cash...
Nice coin! You're lucky. I just heard on NPR that the Postal Service is going to slow down deliveries, reduce hours and close some locations...
Syracuse [ATTACH] Next: A coin of Kamarina.
I'm inclined to think your coin is Byzantine, a follis struck over an earlier follis. I would go even further out on the limb and say it is...
