We know you've got those bags of MS70's in your back room, Doug. Quit holding out on us!
Human beings aren't logical. For most collectors, acquiring new pieces is an emotional exercise. Chasing condition rarities among moderns seems...
Good to know. I'd like to collect a handful of Arados issues, so whoever has them needs to put large amounts up for sale and drive down the prices. :)
It's the prow of a ship. Here's an example... http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sg/sg5999.html Coins of Arados are generally more scarce than other...
Sear Greek 5999.
I resemble that comment!
I've shipped internationally if the the buyers went through eBay's shipping program, and everything's worked out fine. Anything else is way too...
Ugh. I feel your pain. I would try to save the coin - Julian bulls aren't a dime a dozen.
I've been looking at quite a few coins of Trajan lately, and there seems to be more variance in the busts than other emperors, even among imperial...
That's as small they get, to be sure. Mine is one denomination larger... Kyzikos, Mysia AR Tritatemorion, 9X12mm, 0.58g; 480-450 BC. Obv.:...

I've got my share of smaller coins as well, but I think 14-15mm is as small as Romans get in the 4th-century. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
It's a decent representative of its type. It's pleasing to handle larger coins of course, and I'm not immune to that, but the smaller coins also...
Theodora's coins are all AE4's, meaning very small. They were minted after her death, as a memorial tribute. For whatever reason, 4th-century...
Remember when I said I probably wouldn't buy any more Romans this month, and that that was also probably a lie? Well, I sniped this Gordian III...
Here's yet another image of the Trajan. I didn't like the effect incandescent lights had on the coin - gave it a strange color. This one is closer...
Hey, congrats on that certification! I'm not big on slabbed ancients, but I wouldn't buy that coin without some sort of guarantee from someone...
