I realize that just because one reads something on the internet, it doesn't necessarily make it so. But I read that one of the techniques the...
This is rather a bad picture gamble, but I just sniped this coin for a song. Although it only grades F, it doesn't seem to have any problems other...
I posted this Constantius II earlier this week, but I'm having some issues dating it and interpreting the code. Any help would be appreciated....
The coin has a lot of eye appeal to me as a well-circulated piece. I'm thinking it would make a good bottom-feeding morsel at the right price....

The gorgeous, even, green patina of this coin flecked with remnants of the silvering grabbed my finger and made me click on BIN. There was nothing...
So I pulled the trigger on this little coinoid for a number of reasons. First of all, it was on sale CHEAP from a reputable ancients dealer....

I've seen a few coins described as AE Tin - and they look like solid tin for that matter. Are the sellers misinformed, or do they in fact contain...
Well guys, I bit the bullet today, cracked open the camera and photoshop manuals, and got to work trying to get some good pics. Here's my first...
This is a little bronze I acquired last week... [IMG] The obverse is described as "bust of Constantinopolis" - so is it NOT the bust of...
