I am thankful they did not use any of my photos. I'd be ashamed to be associated with the thing. These were not just typos. Is Michigan a...
I can have no appreciation for this theory until they explain why the things exist in a full range of denominations from litra to stater. The...
http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/denom.html You might find my page on denominations helpful. Each photo has one coin lying on a US cent...
The Shahi silver has a bull ad horseman but the matching AE are elephant and lion. c. AD 870-1000 [ATTACH] Leo I could not resist the pun on...
Mercury is not the most common god but there are a few. They should show the winged hat and caduceus. Marcus Aurelius [ATTACH] Claudius II [ATTACH]
Every so often I wonder if all our newest collectors are aware of all that exists in the way of options for their hobby. This post is to remind...
Excellent coins and excellent photos! Neither of mine are as nice but shown here since they face in opposite directions from your pair. [ATTACH]...

Because most one-per collectors fill the Carausius with a Pax, I believe the best single Allectus is the galley type. Mine is C mint. [ATTACH]...
I suspect just being part of Trajan's REST series was enough. All of them are rare and expensive but there would be some more popular than...
Those who ignored Ryro's link above made a mistake. I would suggest that a TV miniseries as good as 'I-Claudius' could be made on the life of...
Interesting. What I see here is an artist whose art is recognition rather than creation. Some here will not appreciate what he does but I see...
I am one of those who has purchased some coins I like from High Ratings and failed to negotiate deals on others. Every so often I try again if I...
Whenever you concentrate too many things in one place, you risk loss to fire, flood or stupidity. I am very sorry about the Brazil museum fire...
