Congrats! You have a nice flower of a coin. I was watching a couple of coins in the auction and got up early, for a retired guy, 7AM. I won the...
I bought a cast Æ from Olbia at the last TNA in June. CNG sold the coin in 2005 & 2008. I think another company sold it again recently. I paid...
I picked up a couple of ray headed guys: Sol and Helios. When I bought the uncia, a friend was the under-bidder. We had at it for a few bids. I...
I use it a lot. It is doubly good, it is accurate and was a Christmas gift from my son who was working in a metal shop at the time.
Nice catalog and good luck in the auction in a couple of weeks. I received two packages from Europe on Monday. One was a lot of 16 scale weights...
I am watching an auction today for an item that will hammer in about 2 hours. I twideled my fingers about as long as I could and then hit a few...
I like how a few clues can help ID a coin. SC is AD and prow of a ship is BC. Cenurion has a Roman coin reference. I am not sure the timing is...
Great website! My eyes are crossing trying to figure some the counting methods.
looks like an interesting movie I saw a Roman coin when I watched Labyrinth, Season 1, on Amazon Prime. The story begins in medieval France. Eight...

Seems like most of my recent wins have been bronze. [ATTACH] The largest (115 grams) and smallest (1.21 grams) have sea eagle reverses....
The ancient scale weight makers did not make many 9s. Only 21 of the 13,000 scale weights on Pondera are 9. One has no marks indicated, one has Nθ...
Nice coins @kirispupis . I like the elephants and ship's prow. I picked up one, see my post here for more. I wanted another, but the electrons...

I picked up an interesting scale weight lot in the recent Leu auction. There were a couple of numbers I have not seen before on scale weights: 17...
I found a couple of Byzantine scale weights. Both use Θ for 9. I was looking for 17 & 27 and will post them separately. [ATTACH] 9 Nomismata = 9...
You can find plenty of Roman and other ancient coins with ships. Most only show the business end (prow or ram) of a war ship. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
There are plenty of ways to define a subset. It makes collecting interesting. One of my subsets is anchors on coins. I have a few and often see...
@Numisnewbiest Thanks for sharing. The blog was posted yesterday, but does not reference where the blogger got the information. It would be...
Great set! I think the coins of Spain would be a good place to start a once a century set of coins. I bought a few unsold lots a few years ago...
