The old-timers will probably say you overpaid, but not me. I think it's a heck of a deal for a gorgeous coin. I love it when sellers accept a...
I think an ancient sub-forum within CT is a good idea, but sending off the ancient collectors to another site? Why? It's not politics or stamps....
Fixed. :)
Well, I've gotta say it's one of the finest examples of the type I've seen, particularly because of the flow lines. If it's a miserable failure,...
It's hard to give stuff away to YNs. I've tried several times, but I told them to ask their parents first, and the answer has always been no....
If in fact there is some tooling on this coin, I just don't think it matters, at least to me. Ancients get cleaned and retooled and recolored and...
I thought it was a fair price.
That is curious. I've always associated the word with murder, rather than injury, although we use it that way occasionally when not referring to...
That is a nice piece of coin, AN.
You find copper coins from even 20 years ago that aren't red anymore. I seriously doubt that a red copper from the 1400s hasn't been cleaned. But...
I see. So Carausius minted coins of Maximian with AVGGG to indicate his bid for power in the West. There really wasn't peace - it was propaganda.
It leaves Carausius and Alectus, but neither of those make sense in the context of Pax.
Would it be Diocletian, Maximian, and Constantius? Or do you relinquish the title Augustus if you retire?
If I come across the really scarce issues, I try to buy them up, no matter that I have duplicates of the same type. Sometimes you really need half...
I'm not sure "upgrading" is an applicable term when it comes to esoteric and scarce coins. The rare Nabataeans in my collection can't really be...
Lordy. Why don't you just pack up all your crap and move somewhere warm?
Jerry, do you really live in Northern Manitoba? As in Eskimo Northern? Churchill?
Yeah, we get some of the pig/chicken slurry going onto the fields about this time, and you're right: it's positively vile. However, we moved here...
The standards are a bit thicker and squatter than what I've seen on this reverse type, but that's likely just a particular engraver's variation on...
The same is true for myself. We've got an acre and a half of fairly isolated property (one neighbor) for the cost of a small condo in a big city....
Separate names with a comma.
