Very nice group! My favorite is #6. I might ask why no Geta and so many Caracallas. Yesterday I downgraded a Geta denarius from my Top Ten...
We discussed many coins before purchase with my usual opinion being he was bidding too high. That is how you get nice coins. My favorite was #2....
I agree fully with this idea. It would seem reasonable to have a routine where you input a few details like where you live and how you will pay...
No, it means that we all need to get over the expectation that any reference, book or online, has everything. Wildwinds has a small fraction of...
I consider it a fact that being a seller of ancient coins is relatively easy compared to being a buyer of ancient coins at a price that will allow...

Mine is an as. [ATTACH]
I never will experience #2 but I have been a bit offended when he did not take one I thought was special. I do not respect those who define...
"Too often!" You don't see it here but be warned it will come out in my Best of 2017 post unless I get quite a few better coins in the next...
I agree the first has modern damage and see no explanation for it. Otherwise I would love to find a coin of the type and date. Mine is a more...
I have no groat but offer two Canterbury halves. The young one with TC on reverse has always been a favorite of my modern coins. The facing is a...
