Yesterday I finished the revision of Domitian after 3 years of work. I had over 15,000 coins to catalogue. Today I'm starting with Gordian III...
Heh, English penny fever! Coincidentally, just yesterday I added one (Richard I) [ATTACH]
Why would you have to be younger??
Thanks again for the continued comments, I'm humbled. The AP came from CNG's last Triton. Came to $6,800 with fees (believe me, a wallop to the...
That's the so-called Boscoreale toning after a famous hoard of aurei that had those reddish deposits. They're probably iron-rich sediments rather...
John, sorry to hear about your loss of two aurei. That is unbelievable. I know this is pretty far back in CNG's history but I'm surprised that...
Thank you all for your congrats, I'm honored [takes a deep bow] I added the Gordian III unexpectedly just last week. Has it ever happened when you...

"Bottom line, send everything the lowest form of mail, but make sure it is insured. That's about all that matters." Don't even bother insuring...
Watching The Last Kingdom on Netflix revived my interest in English hammered pennies, especially those the difficult ones from before Henry III....
Nice! You must have spent a fortune getting those framed. Ps. Why *is* framing so expensive anyway??
Looks sharp to me and your color is now accurate. You're making life difficult for yourself though imo by shooting at f/9. These are very flat,...
I'll be a contrarian and say that by that logic you could get a thousand marginal AEs and learn even more. Truth is you don't need to possess the...
"3rd known example, all from the same die pair. CNG Mail Bid Sale 66, 1588, 19.05.2004, now in the collection of Marchat Thibaut. Kunker Auction...
