Well I was more wondering if it would cause any issues. I wasn’t worried about it melting. Kind of like how toothpaste won’t damage silver or...
All of the coins I buy online or at auction come via USPS. I live in California and right now it’s getting up to 109 degrees in the afternoon....
As someone interested in the topic I was reading a research paper about debasement of the Roman silver denarius and I found something very...
It’s been over 12 hours and no sign of a Zoroaster or Ahura Mazda so I’ll share one I thought was pretty cool. [ATTACH] CILICIA. Mallus....
Very nice! I love gold myself but it’s just insane how much it costs and then I end up getting distracted by pretty coins and buying an ancient...
Congrats! That’s an awesome looking coin and I hope to have one myself one day. I know how you feel waiting though. I’m waiting on a quadrigatus...
Anyone know if there is any way to get a more accurate date on when an owl was minted? Mine says 440BC-404BC but like is there any way to tell...
Congrats! Welcome to the club! :) Here’s mine: Please forgive me for the big plastic hunk of armor but my nephews are 3 & 5 and are showing an...

I just have been using my IPhone XS camera. But I used to have a Canon Rebel T1i and it didn’t really do much better even with a macro lens.
What about something like this? It has 2 LED lights on flexible arms that can be set in any position with a controller to take pictures. [ATTACH]
I was just browsing through my collections and by chance I happened to look at a Liberty Seated Dollar (not the one in the picture. I just used...
I think this Marcus Aurelius has a pretty long neck. He’s definitely got a big nose. It’s like a perfect 45 degree triangle xD. It’s definitely...
Fair enough. Maybe I missed that. I’m still new and learning. The thing about books is that you can’t ask them questions for clarification or...
I do have it but I’m not finished reading it yet. It’s not really one of those books you finish in one sitting. But I do know about the heavy...
Very nice! I’m going to guess XF40.
I thought the denarius was minted after the Quadrigatus? [ATTACH] But you seem to have some late 4th century BC denarii that predate my 225 BC...
