The more I look... Heart of a mountain. Ahh the Roman Empire's famous Phoenician era. Why can I pick it up for free in Texas but otherwise it...
One of my fav types too, though it was Victory with wr. & palm that drew me in. I got a mess of em, I'll post soon-ish. Cool thread
The only real explanation I can come up with for this coin is something issued by Val. III in the West in honor of Marcian in the East. It's a...
Ok, so, I tried making this post a little earlier & it all went wrong (tiiiny buttons/gnarled old fingers). I can't figure out how to delete the...
Coming soon, accidentally hit post before done & having trouble with edit
Above & beyond, you rock
Looks nice, congrats. It'd be good enough for me. A Bee is on my want list too; they're cool.

If you want to try your hand at cleaning coins (& you should! It's a lot of fun), please do not start with those. You will almost certainly not...
Much appreciated
I went to the Baltimore Whitman Spring Expo Friday. Took the day off work. Had a great time. I haven't been to a lot of such things & it was...
What an amazing (wife) piece of craftsmanship! Hats-off to you, sir. As for the idea of a catalogue, fair warning; I do something like what I...
I like cherrypicking for Late LRBCs, & I'm a bit of a sucker for Valentinian III. If you're not overly worried about grade then there's all kinds...
Done in antiquity? Makes a coin cheaper without messing it up to where I care too too much. Making jewelry in modern time out of ancient coins?...
I read about this this morning. Freaking terrible. I've bought coins from Roma. Just disappointed really. I feel privelaged to have such easy...
Generally? No, they are not. Most on Ebay, that I've seen, are either not uncleaned at all but overcleaned slugs that sort of look like they're...
Yes, coins like this are left partially uncleaned on purpose. There's a few reasons. It just looks cool for one, and only happens when the coin...
