Ah, cool, thanks for updating me. Who's this Mike feller?
Victor (CNG's owner) once told me that if someone wants a coin bad enough they'll do what it takes to get it. A lovely little aphorism. Isn't it...
Well, as a guest on someone else's board I will defer. Won't happen again. That being said, the rationale may need revision. These coins don't...
Wut? Who came up with this rule?? Maybe I stepped over the line for one of the "house rules", I'm still relatively new on this forum, but linking...
That is one very very nice coin. If you don't mind the expense of letting me borrow it for photography I would include it in the Julian II plate...
Congratulations on the acquisition of a special denarius (like all of Aelius would be) I bet you're going to go to town now with that vise....
[ATTACH] When I saw this my jaw dropped. It's being auctioned on CNG now at https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=393020 and if it wasn't that I...

I'm very sorry for this. This aging Gen Xer should know better! Velvet is definitely the cheap and easy way. I use it for shooting video and keep...
Ken, that AP for less than $1,200 is a pretty sweet deal. Actually, the Trajan and Vespasians aren't too bad either! Rasiel
Can I ask why? If you're tired of paying for hosting you could just point the url to acrhive.org and it'll clone the whole site. Rasiel
Absolutely, positively fake. The very first giveaway is the odd angle photo. When you see a coin pictured upside down and slanted in such a way...
Displaying and storing are two different things. The storage has to be physical but you can display virtually. I look at the photos of my coins...
To the first guy who posted: I haven't done this myself but, conceptually at least, you should be able to come pretty close to vantablack by using...
You CAN get a genuine aureus for less than $1,200 but it will look like crap. Worn to the nubbins, holed, etc. ebay is the best place. When you...
That's a pretty badass coin with the twisty legs, wow! Almost makes me want to collect RR now :-D
Here's one with a light green patina that I thought was really attractive. There's so many weird possibilities with copper! [ATTACH]
