Thanks! I use them for a third party, impartial opinion and for a multitude of additional context. Depending on the dealer, they will comment on...
Common symbols are sometimes surprisingly challenging to find. The Zodiac was a significant part of Roman culture yet the full wheel appears only...
This is incredible - well done!!
Victor has also been instrumental in shaping my collection and my tastes. He is a wonderful mentor!
:) I did sell my Eid Mar from 2014 but just upgraded it a couple weeks ago:...
I laughed at that too! I wonder if it was a deliberate choice by the collector to only buy a (comparably). inexpensive Otho. Perhaps they...
Presently, it is sitting on my desk but will be locked away soon, unfortunately! I stopped by the Agora table twice to get more of these at...

Truly fabulous coins! I especially love your Brutus aureus and of course your Eid Mar which is far more deserving than the paltry lowball offer...
Having just received one of my latest purchases (and after waiting for Roma to resolve their technical difficulties), I finally have a chance to...
Incidentally I just purchased an upgrade of the type yesterday. Perikles' staters are seen as the first portrait of a king on a coin (there are a...
