Thank you. I omitted the footnotes here because they're all quite lengthy, and in fact one of them is still incomplete: for the recently purchased...
I have several old tickets that came with ex-BCD coins. All of them give his full name. His name is also public on the Internet, because, if I...
I've bought a wide variety of Roman coins from Ken Dorney (plus one that was ex. Ken Dorney), over the last couple of years. All at retail; I've...

Where is your son coming up with these mysterious coins?
I know, and I'm not crazy about his doing so. But there's no comparison to Lanz. A couple of identified fakes out of hundreds of coins is not the...
He's identifying the ones in the OP as modern forgeries. Which doesn't make it any less unethical to put them on the market, in my opinion.
Are you sure the ones he's "reselling" are genuine? I wouldn't trust anything he sells or says. He's almost another Sadigh, except with coins.
Yes! They had a lot of them. It was a really nice example of a type I've wanted for a long time. I'm trying not to be too impatient waiting for it...

Thanks. I bought one coin in the recent Cayon Subastas auction, but they've said it usually takes 3-6 weeks to obtain the necessary export permit...
I recently bought my first coin of Licinius II, largely because I like the fact that his portrait actually makes him look like a small child; not...
My Hadrian Aegyptos as it arrived from Athena, complete with an artificial blue patina: [ATTACH] Now, it looks like this: [IMG] Next: a...
Thanks!
Plus rarity, of course. Both more important than mere beauty, at least for the aureus list. Not so much for the denarius list, given that the Eid...
Mine arrived today as well. I see that there are no instructions included in the package, or on the bottle. Could someone please provide a link to...
Very interesting that # 1 was three times the price of # 2, and six times # 10 -- even though I happen to think # 10 is much more beautiful....
The same is true of Crawford; most of the Roman Republican "hybrids" he notes -- usually an obverse and reverse of a particular type with...
Wow. Thanks, that's fascinating. I guess Imperial coinage circulated a lot more in places like Moesia than I would ever have guessed.
Next?
