Some beautiful colours on that bracteate, Lordmarcovan. I could look at it for hours.
I always enjoy your posts and picks, Orielensis. Excellent selection, my favourite being the Septimus with the great reverse.
I love the Trajan in particular, and also very fond of the crab/eagle and the Seleukid elephant. Great selection.
[ATTACH] Here's an ugly little one I couldn't resist for a few quid.
I had a funny experience with regards to the question of provenance. I recently purchased a coin on Vcoins which is making its way to me in the...
Come again?
I think this is true to an extent, and I don't claim to be an expert so I could be wrong, but I think the main problem right now is almost...
Like Pishpash said, anything over $15 I think. From my understanding, ancient coins from the US are hit with a 5% VAT and a processing fee from...
With Johnson in charge, who knows what will transpire. Apparently his agreed deal was 'oven ready', or at least that was the phrase he repeated...
There are a few medallions and coins I wouldn't mind an obvious 3d printed fake from. One example is the commemorative medal aureus multiple...
Great coins, and a great write up. I particularly like the series W Sceat.
Excellent, sounds like the RIC volume should be with us shortly then. I'll definitely be investing in a copy. I really hope Sam Moorhead...
It certainly has deep engraving and a good strong strike, as well as good style and proportions. Very nice.
@Al Kowsky you've got a good eye. The mint staff are indeed believed to have come from Trier when the travelling mint made the 'invasion...
Some cracking coins posted so far. Here are a few super budget items picked up that didn't make the top 10 list. Three coins in a bundle for...
Fabulous selection, with some remarkable provincials. I think my favourite has to be the dynastic Septimus from Moesia with his ill fated...
Well, it's been quite a year hasn't it? Far too much unpleasantness, too many untimely deaths (as if there could be too few), and lots of...
An interesting group for sure. I particularly like the repeated legend Wu Zhu and the attractively patinated 'weight'.
A great selection John. I love the Julian siliqua in particular, and the potin too which is far more recognisable than most you see that have...
Great selection. I love both of the London mint coins in particular, displaying the early style after the first few transitional issues with...
