I agree. I like discussions of history and numismatics. The alphabetical thread is interesting, to see what everyone's collected, but it's sort of...
Thanks Chris. It was the nicest one on the market. In fact, it's in better shape than the plate coins in Meshorer and SK. The one thing it lacks...
No. They're not. "Worth" is entirely relative. Your collection is worth what it's worth to you. If you garner any significant emotional or...
It certainly isn't your usual lot of Nabataeans. The eagle/wreath types are also scarce. The Rabbel issues are fairly common, though. Still,...

Wow, Mat. That's some RR. Bravo!
A lot of interesting and distinctive coinage from the region, both before and during Roman occupation. That's a marvelous piece, and I can...

Yes Doug, we're related. Don't forget me in your will now. :)
I always like seeing that set, Doug. Don't assume people don't read your pages. If there was a counter, I'd bet you'd be surprised.
