Thanks Stevex6! I had a great father's day. Let the kids play in the pool all day...they tire themselves out that way;). Despite frequent...
Hollywood version of Marcus Aurelius and Commodus, which has absolutely nothing at all to do with reality or history:...
Marcus Aurelius; the last of the "five good emperors", and biological father to his son Commodus. Significant because Commodus accession as...
Wow! :eek: Ancient Joe, that has to be one of the most visually stunning coins I've seen, ancient or not. Thanks for posting it.
I think it would just be a hoot to look through and see what some of the keys were retailing for in 1947! An 1893 S Morgan dollar in XF for $80...
Why not put together a set of un-slabbed Silver Eagles? You avoid the premiums of MS69 or MS70 coins. MS 67/68 are still uncirculated and pretty...
I really like the reverse, not only the galley but the entire design, including the standing emperor and Victory manning the rudder. Nicely done!
I haven't sold much on eBay, maybe 30-50 coins and that was about two years ago or so. But even in that relatively low amount of transactions, I...
Very nice Gil-Galad. The detail on that reverse is spectacular!
The mainstream media's running with the story now: It's up to $12k in silver change as they crank up the sensationalism meter. This link to that...

An anchor and a crayfish? Does he get double points for this one!?!:D
Cool Thread Stevex6! As always, a chance to look through my collection and see what kind of weird and eclectic theme might somehow be...
Nice additions Randy! I especially like the green patina on that Philip.
Nice looking coin Eng! I like the portrait, and the bit of history you added. Even though the fate of many on these Roman coins is often the...
Very cool vids ANoob. You're right, there are some aspects of a coin you can show with a video, that a photo will not capture. I also enjoyed...
Yes, it's funny when you think of it. Even in the renaissance I'm pretty sure they knew the world was round, despite the revisionist history that...
I thought the same thing about the Honorius. My fear would be removing some of the sandy patina in the process. I always like that sort of...
Thanks Windchild!
