You understand just how rare these are, right? Plus, they're discovery coins...they're likely to be quite costly ;):D Shall we send them to NGC...
I don't remember that one, Steve-O. Would you post both sides and the attribution, pretty-please? :)
Hmm. I don't know the answer to your question of how to properly cite the later RIC volumes. Perhaps a stroll through CNG's archives would be...
She was his second and fourth wife. @Greg Heinrich, if that's your ugliest, you are doing pretty well! Wowie, @WDF, yours is definitely a...
The dies for these Iguanasi were recovered. Oddly, they show very little sign of age and they look rather like the cut-off heads of hex bolts....

Good point, chrsmat. If the coins were taken from the site and all cleaned in a manner that didn't affect the surface composition, the XRF data...
I wouldn't say that prutot are out of favor... they're abundant, tiny, and usually not well-struck or in great condition... therefore affordable....
Great story! Well... except for the players thinking George Washington lived 1000 years ago :eek:.
I read the paper, although not with complete understanding of some passages due to not having read the cited reference papers and not having...
Q-- that's a mighty jolly-looking elephant! I have two and am reasonably sure they are authentic. These JC denarii are tough to authenticate....
