I'd have to try to clean them first. No thanks! They'd be good for @hotwheelsearl when he gets back here. Something to do during those long...
Thanks. I'm sure there's an explanation, but I don't know what it is. It's not unique to the cartwheel coins, though; I just took a look at the...
I love this kind of post. Among other things, it helps prove that we're a serious website! Seriously, though, I've got nothing from the 5th...
Here's my example of the 1797 Cartwheel twopence with Britannia on the reverse. 41 mm., 56.1 grams. I purchased it from Karl Stephens Inc. in...
@Ryro, I agree with you that the repeated 12-hour gaps are frustrating. As well as very predictable; I can almost always tell immediately that...
You're very welcome. It seemed like the obvious thing to do! Really, I have @curtislclay to thank for calling my attention to the error in the...

Pardon my ignorance, but exactly which coins of Tarentum are the diobols? Does this exclude the dolphin-rider coins, which I've seen referred to...
Very exciting!
I'm embarrassed to have to admit that I misspoke: I knew the coin was Galba when I bought it, but it looks so much like Nerva that afterwards my...
A gorgeous selection!
I would love one of those!
From the CNG auction?
I just figured out how to download higher-resolution photos and substituted them. That's certainly a very unusual-looking face on Roma. But a...
Did anyone else bid at the CNG auction today? I placed four bids and won three, one from Antioch and the other two from Roman Alexandria like the...
Great write-up! I have only one coin believed by some authorities to depict Bonus Eventus: Roman Republic, Q. Cassius Longinus, AR Denarius, 55...
