Nice coins. M. Thrax certainly has one of the most distinctive profiles on Roman coins.
I've bought coins from the FORVM store, but I've never participated in the auctions. I'll also chime in and say I've never lost a coin in overseas...
It's a great coin. I'm a sucker for the visual appeal of the shiny black patinas. I think many of the coins that have that look have been waxed,...
Good questions. Technically, the term billon refers to an alloy in which the majority of the metal is base. By that definition, any ant with more...
Nice coins, and good for you guys having a mini coin club meeting! Wish I could have dropped by but it's a bit of a commute.
A magnificent coin and engaging write-up as usual. Thank you!
Part of me wants to apologize for sending you that coin, but on the other hand, if you're going to collect ants of Gallienus you may as well have...

Constantine the Great's first son was Crispus, by a certain Minervina. Nothing is known of her, but she was likely a concubine, as contemporary...
I never grow weary of the coinage of the Constantinian dynasty but I'll post the two that made it possible: Constantius I "Chlorus" and Helena....
It's a great little lot. Nice find.
Great job preserving a coin eminently worthy of the attention.
Would a collector of Lincoln woodies even care about the grade on the slab? These cents appeal because of their macroscopic anomalies. There's a...
Here's my 09 VDB, cherry-picked from a dealer's box. I say cherry-picked not because they're uncommon, but rather because I got a coin with...
