Thank you Kentucky! I will indeed keep you all updated.
Nonsense. You can't let a little thing like that stop your collecting. :p
Well, I'll say that you've started off your collecting year with a bang! I can't wait to see what you do to top these seven.
Well that's pretty much why I haven't been interested in trying - I prefer coins in higher grades. The problem with Nabateans is there are very...

There's such a glut of beautiful Licinius I bronzes at bargain-basement prices that I see myself collecting quite a few types over time. This coin...
Thanks Bing. I had read that article earlier, but I wasn't sure whether there were exceptions to the rule.
Not necessarily. I have a drawer-full of raw Kennedy Half Dollars, and I love to go through them, look at them this way and that, lay them down on...
Thank you sir! What about the mint? Were the Denarii primarily minted in Rome?
Neither have I - that's hands down the nicest non-toned Columbian I've ever seen.
