More a self-slabbing entity than a legitimate TPG, I believe. Not a particularly reputable company, but I will say one thing for them: I once...
How certain are we that the beastie on the back of my coin is a wolf, anyway? What's the Latin for "anteater"? Just sayin'... ;) [ATTACH]
@DonnaML - do you know- could your Wiltshire-dug coin have possibly been part of a buried hoard? If it was buried in a pot of some kind rather...
When I was detecting over there in the UK in 2013, I avidly wanted to find a Roman coin, of course. In one field that had produced a Marcus...

I knew nothing of this period before I bought this coin from @AncientJoe. @kazuma78 owns it now. It was one of my favorites during its tenure in...

Hmm. Suddenly I find myself wanting one of those lup- lupa- eh- um- she-wolf sculptures now! :) Now that I actually have a desk, for the first...
@Valentinian - you come highly recommended, it seems. :)
Question 1. Would I be correct to assume that “billon reduced centenionalis” might be a more precise description of the denomination than NGC’s...
And thank you, sir, for that detailed reply, which I will do my best to digest before I retool the original post into my writeup.
I shall. Thank you.
@paddyman98 beat me to it. US coins use what is called coin orientation, while Canadian and other World coins often use what is called medallic...
I like Roma's cheerful smile on the obverse. I presume that's Roma, right? I mean, who else would it be?
"Neon Lights", huh? This came from the "Color of Money" collection on the PCGS Registry. Not my usual thing, but I figured I needed to have it,...
