I think I'll pass, but if any of the YN's that frequent this forum, that is, the ancients forum, would like a nice Christmas present, PM me your...
Well, we should have our own, among the collectors of ancients. I'd like to do it, but frankly, I don't think most of the collectors on this...
Nice coin, Randy. I've seen a few ex-Lindgren coins on the market from time to time, but none of them seemed to fit my collecting interests. It's...
It's in the Seleucid style, but I recognize neither the type nor the king's name.
I scored another less-common LRB cheapie today - no point in making another thread, so I'll put it here. This one is a SPES REIPVBLICE type of...
I was watching that coin, although I didn't bid. I'm glad it went to a good home!
As far as I know, the coins of Beroea only had emperors on them, but like I said, I don't have the current and best reference for these coins.

Acetone would probably get some of the grime off. I've cleaned modern silver coins with acetone by soaking them for about an hour, then removing...

Nice coins, Charles! That's a type I'd like to collect as well.

I realize that RIC rarities refer only to the samples taken by the various authors of RIC. As such, they are 100% accurate. But also as such, they...
I have to laugh at how completely bored Clint Eastwood is with that speech, lol.
I did see the three nicer ones on acsearch - only one was listed with a cost, at $180. But it's not the sort of coin I would look to spend big...
What did you get? Or is it a secret?
Thanks Bing. There were four or five bidders, so a handful of collectors spotted it as scarce. I expected the bidding to go a little higher, but...
Wikipedia's article on the history of puppetry is quite good, with some fascinating pics. My favorite are the creepy 4th/5th-century BC Greek...
I like the way you think. :troll:
The first thing I do when I research a coin is look up the location on a map. I'm not sure why, but knowing where the coin came from...
