I wasn't referring to you specifically, just in general.
Also, don't buy coins from Bulgaria. Just don't do it. It's simply better to avoid certain neighborhoods.
What makes the Lipanoff fakes so insidious is that they used ancient methods to make their copies - striking coins with hand-engraved dies. Thus,...
Very interesting indeed. Just yesterday I bought a denarius of Hadrian on which he's also sporting a balteus. Unfortunately I have only the...
