Here's the Athens New Style tet. Not great, not horrible. I haven't begun to research this for attribution nor do I even know if it is real....
I know someone who'd really like to have that Pius with piglets :D Nice! Congratulations.
Sorry to hear about your wife's woes, Bing. Here's a Roman Republic quadrigia from my recent mixed lot folly, one of the better coins. I didn't...
Yes, as I said, it was a gamble, a gamble I've taken before (on lots with similar language) and until this one I had been pleased. It was a risk...
I don't think they took advantage of me. I simply took a gamble and it did not pan out. Although I do think their estimate of conditions are off...
They are in individual flips, most with old paper envelopes, most with an emperor's name and little else-- and I wouldn't trust that scant info to...
