It's not size - the coin I saw was described as AE Tin Follis, and it didn't look like it had a shred of copper to it, so I'm wondering why the...
I've seen a few coins described as AE Tin - and they look like solid tin for that matter. Are the sellers misinformed, or do they in fact contain...
Well this is what I decided on. The black background definitely looked too dark for bronze coins, but I didn't really like white, so this medium...
That's a superb collection that represents a great deal of intellectual and financial commitment. Bravo!
I wonder if every thread turns into a Bacchanal as soon as Steve stops by, lol.
Yeah, lol. Party at Collect89's!!!!!!!!!!!
The labyrinth toy is a great idea, thank you! We've got one of those in a closet somewhere...

Nice patina on that one.

The toning looks perfectly natural. Nice find!
You take great pics, Bing! But part of the issue is that my coins just aren't as nice as yours - they're quite dark, and grade-wise only around...
