Well said. This is exactly what I wanted to say. I voted yes, because I'm more on the "Yes, it's good to expose this junk" side, than the "Obey...
:eek: Ummmm...not real sure what to do with that, but I'm pretty sure you should get her the coin she wants NP...maybe even buy a couple...
That's a very nice looking set Floyd. Congratulations and thanks for showing it off!
Yes, very nice and interesting coins Ian. So, is there any particular manner in which you collect chopmarked coins? e.g. You're trying to put...

Troodon, I hate to say it, but I feel that there is a high possibility of it being a fake as well. Where are the denticles around the edges of the...
Speedy, is this a set that you're planning on keeping long term?
Heck, you know more than I do (argentum). Yeah, that danged periodic table is good for messing you up sometimes. :)
AR is silver, AE is bronze. I think it's just another way of saying silver and bronze. So, if a description says AE Sestertius, it's just like...
Congratulations! I'm glad to hear a happy ending to the story. Enjoy that denarius too. The ancients will get you hooked!
PF66 CAM is my guess.
