I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum from Doug and Martin. I own all of two coins of S. Severus, and they were opportunistic grabs. I was not...
Down boy. You ain't man enough for TIF. :p
Hah - my highly professional method. I have a small copy stand and a Nikon Coolpix. Set up a card table in the back yard around 11 AM on a sunny...
I don't think TIF posted. She's rather private.
Thank you. I like taking pics in sunlight and we're having a sunny day - cold, but sunny. I've tried all sorts of expensive lighting arrangements,...
This lovely little tidbit arrived yesterday. My own image... [img]
Precisely. I'm not judging it, mind you. I'm only speaking for myself in saying I'm not interested. I don't collect any other sort of fancy...
I'm not surprised. It's very well-crafted, I'll say that. But it isn't ancient.
Thank you sir! We had a thread earlier in the year in which we posted our pics, and many of us were surprised at the fact that we didn't look like...
If I collected bullion, the coin would interest me greatly, but only if it could be had for a small premium over spot. I doubt that would be the...
No thread about Nemeses would be complete without mentioning Constantine I and Licinius I. The scholarship on this civil war is extensive and...
Possibly, if a casting was used to create a hub from which dies were struck. The coin itself looks struck, and well-struck at that: no tell-tale...

I haven't studied Ptolemaic bronzes enough to clearly identify the host coins. The seller of the above coin identifies the undertype as a bronze...
I know about the ANA program. They have six categories by which you can earn the coins. I was just curious what sort of projects he was working on. :)
Here's another interesting proto-Nabataean overstrike. This coin was sold at a lower price than most, presumably because its disheveled features...
I voted yes because I'm a positive kind of guy.
It's a superb coin, Steve. There are so many fascinating designs in the Decapolis provincials. I find them much more interesting than most Imperials.
