Actually, I did find this coin on Wildwinds - for some reason I missed it earlier. Another example sold by Heritage, and much nicer than mine. The...
Maybe, maybe not. I don't think anyone should speculate on Arabian provincials. In fact, I think that would be a very bad idea. You've got to...
For those unfamiliar with Roman provincial coins that commemorate games and festivals, I've included a brief excerpt from Barclay Head's Historia...
That's an interesting point, because this hawk is found in similar form on ancient coins, long before any historical mention of the Quraish tribe,...
Lol, that's a CT member, but I forget who... Edit: I think it's bkozak. It look like his handiwork.

I like that safe, Steve. I was at Cabelas the other day - but I need one for guns more than coins. I'm not worried that anyone would want to steal...
