Why don't you just post a link to the listing, and upload the images so that when the eBay listing link goes dead it won't ruin this thread? No...
Only briefly but I got no hits even when plugging in data of known coins, so I was doing something wrong. I'll try it again.
I have tried and failed to understand Isegrim on many occasions. Guess I need to try harder. I wish someone versed in modern computer...
I corrected a hasty mistake in my first post. Baking soda + washing soda yields sodium sesquicarbonate. By approximate, I meant that most people...
I've treated a number of coins for varying degrees of BD. I think @gsimonel's advice is best. You definitely need to debulk the BD before...
Wow! That's not a type you see every day!
It's a spectacularly bad idea. The metal will be brittle (age hardened) and there is already a network of cracks. You'd end up with a bunch of...
The listing mentions that it is "cf. Mionnet Supp. V, p. 50, 251 (Bithynia; Pankratios Diogenes)". "cf" means "similar to", right? Maybe the...
NICE upgrade, Mat!
Well, it wasn't too horrible... In my first months of ancient coin fascination I bought bunches of "uncleaned" coins (what a misleading and just...
I'd just cut it as flush as possible with wire cutters and then file down the rest. Heating old bronze coins can lead to trouble. Ask me how I...
It's a doozy! :)
Here's a Bosporeo for ya :D [ATTACH] [IMG] KINGS OF BOSPORUS, Sauromates I CE 93/4-123/4 AE 48 units (29mm, 10.84 gm, 12h) Obv: diademed,...
I found a working link: Review: The Coinage System of Cleopatra VII and Augustus in Cyprus; ANS Magazine, Winter 2005
Right.
A year ago your writeup caused me to add it to my GET ONE list :) (still haven't found mine though). Before that, I had dismissed them as only of...
Yeah, mine was the new Mint Oreo flavor :yack:. It looked on the verge of becoming two uniface coins!
I've seen that before. Here's a similar Roman Egypt coin I returned upon receipt. This type of perimeter crack isn't appreciable in obverse and...
I'm not sorry. Both can exist in the same thread and both can be informative. I've enjoyed the coins and the copyright discussion in this one...
Sounds like through the ages there's been a lot of back-and-forth with these laws. Thanks for the background, Ed.
