I'd like to share my year-end wind-ups, but the post has been very stubborn about not delivering them to me. It doesn't help that they're coming...
I think the Ae from Zeugma is very strong for its type, a very attractive coin.
Nice coin, John, with super detail. I have the same type from the same ruler, but from the Heraclea mint. It's got a lovely patina with traces of...
Super coin for $19, Bing! A strong F, and the bust is very handsome. I also like the certificate from David Sear - a certificate which actually...
Being a postal carrier is one of the highest paying jobs (with benefits) that you can get as an unskilled laborer. Jeopardizing such a job by...

Here is my one example of the type. I still have no idea what the marks on the reverse mean... [ATTACH]
It's a scarce coin. Judging by the pitting on the reverse, I would say it was once cleaned of BD, and lacquered (or waxed) to prevent furthers...
I can't argue with that. One of these days I'll play in your league, hopefully. For now, just look for me in the dumpster.
These are lovely coins. Since the devices are so intricate, it's worth getting them in AU and above - you need to see all the details to fully...
