lol!
I'd love to just up and visit the sight, but there's a bit of a puddle in the way.
Oh and Doug, that's a very nice coin! :)
If I insisted that all my coins grade VF or higher, I would have to sell half my collection, including almost all of my Nabataeans. I've bought...

Pay all your bills FIRST, then it's not a disease. :)
I'm skeptical about that chromosome analysis. I'm pretty sure we've got a few aliens on this forum.
Was the Island of Lesbos an area in which electrum occurred naturally, as in Lydia? If so, they may have done little with the alloy other than...
Beautiful pieces, and the metallurgy of coins is always fascinating to me. I have yet to collect any of these, but someday...

I snagged two crusty Levantine Provincials at CNG today, adding two more mints to my collection. The first is Hadrian of Tiberias. Tiberias is on...
Great coin Mat. I don't have any of the post-reform radiates for Constantius Chlorus, just a few of Maximian - on my want list. I do have this...
They're both wonderful coins, but I'm in love with the Sigismund. These are a dime-a-dozen in lower grades so it's really refreshing to see one...
I also like this coin immensely - super detail on the cuirass, a nice long-necked imperious bust, and a solidly-struck reverse.
Great coin Bing. Now I know what happened to it - I saw it in Seth's selling thread and was going to ask him for it myself, then it was gone. I'm...
Precisely. I won't pay a premium for such "minor rarities" if you will. Dealers who bother looking up their coins see R4 and translate it as at...
