There are patron and life member levels. You'll be in good company if you join. Also, your membersip fees will help fight the elitist, U.S....
This is very true, and you likely won't know until you don't like the results. Have you examined the deposits at all with a gentle probe? Are...
Here is the small head variety from my collection. :oops: [ATTACH]
I'm a Patron of ACCG. Radical archaelogists are not just a problem for U.S. importation of ancient coins. They are aiming to impact European...
What have you got there @rrdenarius ? I'm not sure whether it's overstruck, double-struck or clashed.
Sorry to have bid against you SA. As you said, it's inevitable. The date on the Diocletion/Elliott tet actually appears re-engraved to me, from...

I happen to have a "John Smith"-like name that's common as dirt, but I still don't use it. Putting aside the risk of criminals associating your...
Trouble with keeping such conversations totally private is that a private charge still causes great concern to the coin owner, but a private...
Maybe! These were trying times, and the mint was clearly under pressure to produce. Anyone who's studied the denarii of Frugi, and the abysmal...
What is "museum wax"? Is that like RenWax? Could hot lights cause that to leave a film on the coin?
It's the dowel part of your and @dougsmit 's setup that make me nervous. I assume some degree of balancing an imbalanced ancient coin on a narrow...
Circa 90 B.C., during the time of the Social War, Q. Titius and C. Vibius C.F. Pansa were co-moneyers at Rome. The Social War was a civil war...
Word is getting-out that vCoins dealer Guy Clark died last weekend, following a long illness.
