Not quite lifetime. Struck 315-294 BC. Price 440, Amphipolis mint.
People are surprisingly gullible. It's well-established that hieroglyphics weren't a gift at all but a negotiated trade. The Egyptians were...
A different snake around a different tripod, M. Volteius M.f., Crawford 385/5, 75 BC. Ex Sydenham, ex Niggler, ex Benz; best thing about it is the...
There's more than one way to skin a cat. (Shhh, don't tell Biscuit or Sweet Pea I said that!) Phil Davis [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Sure, it's 366/1a. A plow (well, a plough in Crawford) is indeed one of the symbols he lists, but I think your symbol is a sword in scabbard.

I agree they're banker's marks, but my back-up suggestion in cases like this is always to blame the bored 8-year old kid of some 18th or 19th...
Almost forgot my newest coin. Mega-horses! Phil Davis [IMG]

I think even faster than hourly. The site was created by a 17-year old kid outside Seattle.

This rare denarius of Brutus (Crawford 503/1), struck in Smyrna in 42 BC, clearly shares an engraver with some of the Lycian League coins struck...
Crawford subdivides the issue based on the rat direction. 297/1a is rat left, 1b is rat right. 1b is a bit more scarce, though both varieties are...
These are all from an early RR hoard that appeared on the market some years back, mostly sold through Gorny & Mosch. It was never published or...
Yes, exactly. Well said. I would add that, properly speaking, FDC isn't a grade at all. How could it be, when a large majority of ancient coins...
Yeah. :) There's an ironic little story about this type. The NAC RBW catalogue rather smugly points out that Rick's coin is ex Gemini V, where it...
