I wanted to post some "good for the grade coins" but was stumped because I really don't know how to traditionally grade coins. I have many which...
Common? I don't see many in archives. I'd like to have one. Yours would be be very welcome at my house :D.
Five bucks for rampant confronted goats? I'll take four :) Amphipolis under Roman rule appears to be correct. Here's one from CNG's archives,...
:) I suspect you'll soon have far more than 15 :D. I have oodles of Roman Egyptian coins (many more not yet loaded onto my website), having...
When you say "the same coin", what are you basing that on? Portrait style + eagle on reverse? The portraits from this era are usually...
Oh. Sorry! There are many reference books and catalogs for coins of Roman Egypt. Keith Emmett wrote one of the newer books and "Emmett 3973" is...

Martin, you have a fantastic collection and there are many I'd love to have, but perhaps none more than this :).
Have you read the books? I've read the series more than a dozen times. Rowling weaves an incredible tale and by the end no detail is left...
A wonderful type. Happy anniversary! Um... did you really get her a toaster?! If so, I hope she directed you to buy it. :D
I see no reason why the obverse control mark can't also be a poppy. It looks like a poppy flower, and the reverse is a poppy seed pod. [IMG] [IMG]
Congratulations on achieving your goal!
I'd join in with the disingenuous advice but even if I don't actively collect a particular era of coins now, I might start lusting for them...
[edited] Additional opinions are always welcome.
I'm with others about Apollonia Pontika... it's difficult for me to tell fact from fiction. I hope your new coin is authentic, Mikey. I have one...
Separate names with a comma.
