I can't unsee that now!
If we're using American standards, that is. The Brits might call that Fine. Their system seems stricter. But the big two TPGs (PCGS & NGC) are...
The old "quantity versus quality" conundrum (you know what I mean) is a difficult set of scales to balance. Yes, focus. It's hard. I finally...
Like my taste in coins, my taste in music is rather eclectic, and occasionally esoteric. [MEDIA] [MEDIA] [MEDIA] [MEDIA] [MEDIA]
Sorry. I just had to Google "desultors". Thanks for adding my vocabulary word for the day. Upon seeing the title, my mind went to dementors....

Mmm, yes please.
Dream coin? I would pluck the ex-Boscoreale Vespasian aureus from @AncientJoe's collection. The Purple Pompeiian People Eater! Whoo! [ATTACH]...
Both above (and the one @octavius just posted) all make my old one look like poor country kin. But I was very proud of this coin back in the day....
No contest for me. Though both are lovely, it's #2 for sure. Because of the nice cabinet toning. Because Otho's name is more completely on the...

@greed ball's prize has been shipped. And @Chris B is sending me that Stalin "Hell" currency note. It will go into the Pick Bin as a possible...
@jwitten's were shipped. @YoloBagels' were shipped. I am pretty sure @Nyatii's were shipped, but forgot to keep a record of it. LMK if you don't...
