[IMG] Nero. Rumor has it that he smoked it in a six bowled bong, a modified oinochoe normally used for irrigating Corn Mummies in an Osirian...
How strange that Heritage has expunged it from their archives! Perhaps the consigner reneged or someone questioned the authenticity or ownership?...
Wait, now I'm confused. The coin you showed in 2016 seems to be the same exact coin as the one you bought at auction yesterday-- the recent...
Hey RC, are you amassing a list of online public domain coin books and if so, do you mind sharing? I bookmark them from time to time but really...
@panzerman, there's nothing wrong with buying duplicates but may I ask what prompted you to get the second coin? Your first example, 2016, which...
I have oodles of Alexandrian, probably north of 160. My first Alexandrian was a tet and I thought it was incredibly ugly, truly offensive in...
If you don't have a language flag on the top right menu, go to Launchpad > System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources. Click "Show input menu...

On my Mac I click on the language icon (US flag, top right of the screen) and select the Greek flag. Not sure how you do it on a PC but if you...

I had some weak prebids in today's A&C auction but unsurprisingly none were anywhere near enough. Wednesday is a terrible day for auctions since...
You can link to external sites :). Nice pickups, Jay!
That's a heck of a deal, @Andres! @Orange Julius, what a fantastic "Alexander taming Bucephalus"! I have one from one of my first large lot...
Quadrunks: [IMG] :D
I hope you feel better soon! Here's a prutah from Judaea issued during the reign of Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate was procurator of the region....
With the usual caveats (poor quality images, and my non-expert status) the obverse looks passable but the reverse style does not. In particular,...
Sure :). It's one of my favorite coins too :D. The obverse of the Agathokles tetradrchm is my avatar, although a few places show the quadriga as...
Ancient coin collectors rock :). These father-son coin adventure posts are really fun too. That's quite a remarkable boy you have!
The pictures are out of focus and I can't tell what the metal/color is, but it is also a Roman coin (or more likely, a replica) but of a much...
