They are lovely little pieces - most collectors have at least one as a type coin. I'm struck by how obsessed Philip II's coiners were with the...
Hydrochloric acid and a car battery?
Well, anyone can have a bad day I suppose, but the fact that the obverse legend says ΓAIOS KAISAP might have been a hint. o_O
Well Steve, I prefer formal pics, so how about a compromise. I liked the casual in-hand images that I took better than the first ones, so I...
Again, giving credit where credit is due, I did not cherry-pick this coin, although I was ready to buy it as an Augustus. Bill was the one who saw...
That's a wonderful coin! Both photos have their merits, but I prefer the first. Since you mention casual shots in hand, I do the believe the Gaius...
Without further ado, here my third coin. G-N attributed this coin incorrectly to Augustus... [ATTACH] For that reason, it did not garner the...
We have a sunny day here, so I took more pics of the Ptolemy III and Khusro II - I prefer to view and photograph my coins in sunlight - nothing...

Yeah. So I high I couldn't reach it, lol. Well, if I had wanted to walk away from the show with one coin, I'm sure I could have managed something....
It looks good brother Gil! I can see every detail quite clearly. Well-done.
I had a pleasant, if brief conversation with Tom Cederlind, who had no lack of drool-worthy offerings. But his fare consists of coins for the...
So I woke up this morning to a vigorous snow flurry in Lancaster (in other words, beach weather for Steve), gulped down a few cups of coffee and...
I don't know the sestertii of Nero, so I can't comment on its authenticity, but what prompts the question?
Here's a random selection of my Constans types, just because I have nothing better to do. [ATTACH]
It's a lovely coin, and I've never seen a bolder Aquileia mint mark. I like this type very much, and I'd like to acquire a few varieties from...
Great looking article Steve. I don't have time to read it now, but I've downloaded for later. Appreciate the link!
