I am waiting on a shipment also. In this case, a german coin I bought in the U.S. The main source of delay is not the actual shipment from the...
Nice! I applaud your enthusiasm and dedication to Flavian coinage:)
Wow, very nice. Superb patina!

I do not think I have any coins in my collection of which only 1 example is known, and certainly nothing to match some of the coins you guys have...
Lovely Domitian, Ro! Thracian mint?
Hmmm, pretty tricky of whoever did this to manipulate one of the most common 1798 LC's into a 1799... A Knowledgeable copper collector would...

I find it difficult to post only those sestertii I like best...when in fact I like them all:) So, if you will bear with me, here are a few more...
Ken, even If I do not know you, it is a pleasure to know this coin went through your hands. I bought this coin back in 1997-1999 from an on-line...
