You would think that eating the last known silphium plant would cure what ailed him. Tell me Bing, how many Peacock tongues must one eat to add...
This is a case where what seems to be a fault is better than a coin that does not tell the story. I suppose it would be nice to have one with the...
Let us be sure to remember that there is a major difference in a price asked and a price received in actual sale. Mine is not an exact match but...
My favorite Commodus denarius has to be the one from the Alexandria mint. One theory is that they were struck in preparation for an announced...
I recall that type auction and believe it really does separate the serious from the players as well as any. The other form of auction I miss from...
This is not an exact match but was $44 in 1993 (ex. Fred Shore) [ATTACH] This (also a minor variant) was $35 in 1997. (What mint?) [ATTACH] I...

IMHO, the relative prices on the Alexandrian coins followed the correct level by rarity as I see them. Another tip is that Mr. McAlee was like me...
I did not bid on lot 475 because it is a coin that requires die matching to identify. That basic type comes with two reverse legends. CNG quoted...
Monday night, I was leading on eight but seven of those fell to last minute bids. The one I won was an Alexandria. IMO the best coins in the...
Mine is year 6 RPC 2534 (6 specimens), 4.1g ex. Guy Clark 1995. Emmett 315 lists these from a dozen years with mine being the most common R1. The...
Be nice, TIF.
IMHO your issue here should be with Lego. If one dealer is buying all the sets, Lego should be making more sets. If Lego is limiting their sets...
As usual with my Parthians, ID's are as provided or believed when purchased and I have not kept up with new theories. Not Pars but related:...
Parthian AE is an acquired taste. Pars has had some unusual ones in the last few sales but the only one I wanted was completely unloved by...
