This has been on my desk for a while, but only now I found the time for a write-up. I had wanted a portrait coin of Germanicus for a while, and am...
Thanks – I'll have to change that in my description!
This coin, my current avatar, probably is one of the best Roman portraits in my collection. Antoninus Pius had some truly skilled engravers...
That's what I thought about my example, which I bought as Kumaragupta. When I first showed it her on CT a while ago, @THCoins pointed out to me...
A very interesting write-up, thread, and discussion! I am trying my best at deciphering Arabic legends, but since I am still rather bad at it, I...

I'm using Beba trays. They certainly don't look as fancy as Abafil cases or vintage coin cabinets, but they also don't need as much space. I can...
I tried a similar comparison in a different thread a year ago, see here (including images shot with different methods). To sum the discussion in...
This recent acquisition is not a very scarce type but, at least in my eyes, quite beautiful: [ATTACH] Caria, Rhodes, AR plinthophoric drachm,...
