I keep coming back for the hierodules.
My wife doesn't seem to care how many coins I buy, never says anything about it. Probably she's just glad my hobby isn't strip clubs.
Yes, it's a Batman coin, but unless he has Doug's superpower, I doubt he can shed any light on it. Here's something fun - that fanam of Tipu...
I watched that coin get auctioned, and thought it was a good deal for someone who could appreciate it despite the cracked flan.
Steve - I thought long and hard about what to post in your birthday thread, and I couldn't come up with anything. Then it hit me in a flash of...
This was my third, and I think we all know how that worked out... [ATTACH]
My first ancient was a throw-away FH that cost $7, but it did get me posting on this forum, and thanks to Doug Smith I am now many thousands of...
Ah. I see what you mean when I click on the image and zoom in. Still, very minor in my opinion. Those scratches wouldn't have discouraged me from...

I always wanted to be attracted to Princess Leia, but she looks too much like my sister. You know how that is...

Well, I like the first three coins very much, but when we talk about hockey pucks, that's not meant to be taken literally. ;)
Well, I've occasionally been made to feel like an idiot on FORVM, so I'm just paying it forward. :p
Nice catch Mat! Any coin with a representation of Gaius Caesar is going to be rare. Here's mine... [ATTACH] Gaius Caesar, Phyrigia, Laodikeia...
Nice solid, detailed bronze. As oki said, keep them coming!
Something interesting since we got on the subject of Gallus - here is a lead seal with confronted busts of CII and CG. I know it's rough, but show...
In fact, it's the most common type for Gallus by a long shot. I know there are others - off the top of my head I can think of CONCORDIA MILITVM,...
Are we doing Gordian III again? Fine with me. :) [ATTACH] I would like to add a few denarii and a couple of provincials to this set. Imperial...
Little cracks like that don't bother us ancient types. Those were likely created when the coin was struck, probably due to an uneven alloy mix or...
Separate names with a comma.
