I would be interested in buying this auction catalog if you have it and don't need it for your library.
Superb example, fully struck, well centered and complete, nice color and little if any wear. A surprising source for this quality. I rarely see...
@red_spork, Your goals for 2019 are admirable and I hope you achieve them. I like all five of your favorites and #2, the M-IVNI is remarkable....
Great writeup and admirable focus for collecting. All of the items you shared are great, but the bronzes are exceptional. Thanks for posting this.
I've used many approaches for storage over the years but now most of my collection is housed in various sized Abafil coin cases. These are...
Mat, the variety of your acquisitions is admirable and the prices you paid are inspirationional. I really like the Charles I halfcrown. These...
My collection is focused on the origin of the denarius so when my wife hears I have a new coin, she says "don't tell me, Roma head on one side...

The Spanish auction firm Aureo & Calico will be conducting the "Alba Long Sale" of Roman Republican Denarii. When one navigates to their site...
This is really good information. My bank in the US has been charging a flat rate of $50 for international currency transfers, plus the conversion...
Really great group of anonymous victoriati. 1) The first is the classic Cr. 90/2, among the rarest of the anonymous victoriatus series. It is...
There are many interesting things about these "common" coins. One is the endless varieties from different regions and also the variations of...
Adam, You would be well advised to find a different holder for the English Halfpenny. PVC holders are corrosive over time, and only intended...
