Nice coins! I'm also a fan of the grazing horse of Alexandreia. I'm not sure I would call mine great, but it's certainly respectable, and it came...

You've got some great detail on the obverse of that coin. The type can get very mushy. Still, even on the better coins, Jesus looks like he's...
It's not Athena - maybe Persephone or Apollo? The bronze disease isn't much, just at the top. I can clean that up no problem. [ATTACH] The pic...
This colorful coin comes to me as a gift from a fellow board member. It was mine to have if I wanted to cure the BD. The BD isn't that bad - just...
