My favorite club stands atop a lion skin pile of this as of Trajan. At first glance, I thought it was a Trajan's Column reverse but one quick...
I am not that nice. I do try to keep the cataloging up to date but I suspect when I die my heirs will be in need of mercy from a coin dealer....
Look closely at the coin posted by Marsyas Mike. The green spots are raised and rounded hard little pellets. These will not damage the coin or...
A really obvious seam is shown on this terrible fake from my page. I am trying hard to resist offering opinions of coins I have not seen in hand....
While I upgraded some time ago, I never got rid of my first Philip which I saw as better style. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] While not Adventus, there are...
I have never owned volume II but had similar history with BMCRE V. I do have III and IV but never warmed up to them as much. I prefer BMCRE to...
As I recall, your collecting style includes so many coins that it would be hard to know each baby's name. A disadvantage of having a database of...

I missed this one. Can you provide a link to where it was discussed?
I could buy no coins from that dealer. He considers that rough reverse better than most while I find it marginally collectible. I prefer the JG...
Good overview as far as I see on a skim. This is what is needed not only here but for several other areas of possible interest to beginners. I...
Perhaps this is a time to mention something I observe and ask if this is accurate. It seems that certain types are more likely to have been...
I wonder what changed and where the coin will be appearing next. It is always good when someone does the right thing but it is better when the...
I agree both are keepers and I agree with the reasoning. My experience with tets of Maximinus suggest he was the last with consistently decent...
testcut(s) [ATTACH] Next: an Athenian tet with a testcut applied from the obverse side
I forgot to mention that I bought mine in 1987 for $18. At least you can see the draco ... sort of anyway. I guess I need to redo this image for...
