It's a very nice coin indeed. Whatever "issues" these tets have are frequently offset by being big chunks of ancient silver, at least in my...
As with many pursuits, the middle path is the most reasonable. I wouldn't encourage anyone to go out and pay high retail prices for coins, or get...
I edited. Pulled the trigger too soon.
Julian's Falling Horsemen are generally rougher than those of Constantius II and Gallus. Here's a plate of my coins. The Julian II is at the...

Well I like three of them very much. I agree with Steve on the as of Claudius - any coin of his in F or better is worth getting, on scarcity...
Ok, well my tray of crappy copies chronicles the development of the earliest Nabataean coinage, 12 coins. I'll try to keep it brief for the sake...
