I parted with a Caracalla Denarius a couple of weeks ago to a fellow forum member and felt a pang of regret. So I went looking for a replacement...
Um, do we have two threads going?
In comparison, it is a lump of silver compared to some of the coins I've seen presented here. But thanks for the compliment. We've had this...
I only own one of these and one new style. I am by far no expert on these, but there are others on this forum who I consider experts. I think it...

Yeah, I thought Turkey has some of the strongest laws regarding the sales of antiquities. I have been warned that any ancient coins for sale at...
willieboyd: Did you buy that in Turkey? I was under the impression it was illegal to buy and sell these there.
Good one lol. Had soda come out my nose when I read that.
Matt, I think that must be Jimmy Durante's sister (ok, YNs. Go ahead and ask).

Well that is a milestone I have not reached after 32 years of collecting Ancients. Congratulations Jango. BTW, it's a nice looking coin too.
