Thank you very much for your opinions. It really helps me and is much appreciated. In spite of over 25 years of experience with roman coinage I...
I don't know how I missed this post this morning. A very handsome portrait of Antinous. One of the best that I have seen. Congratulations on...
Steve, sorry to hear that. What is the import duty in Canada for ancient coinage? Here we pay 19 % if silver or gold, and 7 % for copper/bronze...
I posted this coin before in a thread dedicated to our 'poorest purchases of 2016'. To be honest, I don't know if I am doing this coin justice...
Interesting you say 'read/know the coin before you buy the coin'. Well, in my case with this coin, neither the seller nor I were following that...
My two coins have arrived but they are not ancients. A U.S and a German states coin bought from Ebay-U.S. Both relatively scarce. I am happy,...
I also love going to shows, and just wish there were more large ones held in my area. As it is, I long for November and the Numismata show in...
What ro expresses is a very human reaction - we all like to be given a little pat in the back from people who share our passion for coins as...
A nice Nero at a very decent price I would say. :)
I have a few coins of Nerva, but only one sestertius. Witness the nose....a true patrician. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Nice coin, and from what I have read you received the excellent service one can expect from K. Dorney. His willingness to share his knowledge of...
These two sestertii of Antonius Pius have really thick planchets. Almost 5,5 + mm. I am afraid I'll damage them when stored in trays. [ATTACH]...
That is a very attractive denarius of Geta, panzerman! Seems to still have some luster present. This is my only denarius of Geta - Janus...
I agree, that is a nice portrait of Nerva. Don't see many Nerva sestertii in the forum.
This is a proud looking eagle. Same type as Andres'. As for Divus Augustus. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
To be honest, Ro, I do not like it for the price. There is enough detail remaining, but the rough surfaces are a major distraction. If you are...
Very nice ship model, Julius Germanicus! When my kids were growing we built a lot of things with Lego blocks, but It never occurred to me to...
I have a few hobbies besides numismatics. Being self-employed, however, I just wish I had more time available to be able to dedicate more time to...
An excellent recount of a terribly sad episode in the history of Europe. My grandfather also fought at Verdun - on the german side, for which he...
Hi Alegandron, here is my J.C. A bit weak on the bust, more due to strike than wear, I think. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
