Those are mighty fine coins, John. You have excellent taste. I love the Persian, and the A. Flacilla has great reverse detail for the type. Nice haul!
Tell me about it. I probably acquired around 50 Romans this year, and I love them all, for one reason or another. Narrowing a representative group...
I'm enjoying everyone else's threads in this regard, so I thought I'd compose one of my own. I have to break things down into several categories,...

Those are some of the best pics of those types I've seen, Doug. Well done.
Well, you may have an unlisted variety. Always a cool find! :)
