I only have the one from Alexandria but would be open to additional ones better or worse if they showed something I found interesting. For...
I disagree. Most we see are the ubiquitous anonymous cross type with or without the tiniest speck of gold. All Axum coins are interesting. Some...
That is far above the Flavian norm for eye appeal. I do not have a nice solo Isis Provincial so I'll fall back on this broken Commodus with...
I love the strong layout line on the reverse that should have made it easy to cut the legends neatly if only thy had paid any attention to it....
Honest answer: My current favorite denarius is the Alexandria mint coin with Venus from the rear which would be dismissed as an error by some...
Dishonest answer: I trust everyone noted that the Coin Weekly list stated that, had they not disallowed recurrences, the EID MAR would have held 9...
That is a nice face. This illustrates that it is next to impossible to get one of these with a really strong Medusa face AND the same level of...

This is the big point. As I recall from elementary school science in the 1950's, any scientific study must limit the variables to have any chance...
If I read the price list correctly, this would be a $2500 slab (plus insured postage? which would be a courier if I were involved). I don't know...
While I agree with the 'cabinet toning' ideal, the truth is I generally pick coins for what they are and don't make buying decisions on color or...
The old saying is that if you have to ask, you can't afford it. I am sure that the coin will sell to someone for whom $5 million is like $5000 is...
