I guess we are just wasting our time here after all the times we cover the same material. arnoldoe covered the subject rather well. The only...
I missed seeing the $2300 coin but as I understood your gameplan you need to delete two more to get back to 20. I'd say your weakest ancients are...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] That is exactly the way I feel about the Ptolemy VI and X above. My only excuse is I bought them a long time ago (the fourree...
This is most certainly an example of a coin which will sell for much more accompanied by its certificate. There is nothing I see in the photo...
In 2016, I had three coins that did not come. One was lost in mail (not the first from this seller), one was switched for a coin I did not order...
Coins of this nature do not belong in a collection of those who want one coin per ruler. The coin was listed as unpublished. It was a very...
I'm not nearly as interested in RIC rarity ratings as many but I do like coins that are 'different' like yours with the RP mintmark on the same...
My Pacorus II was $56 in the March 1993 sale of, you guessed it, Frank Robinson. I miss the good old days when most of you people where not...

"Tetradrachms" include quite a range of beasts. Hellenistic ones tend to have a ruler portrait and some god on the reverse. I've never been into...
I had always assumed that the Geta killing was in Rome since they had returned there soon after Septimius died. I believe the main reason...
Mine is the same coin but just a bit different in style and letter spacing. I'm not familiar with the spacing on your obverse but these are out...
Actually, I am really glad to see Gordian III made the exception list. He only has 10,000 or so interesting coins to collect and should keep you...
I know no one wants to hear this but I remain of the opinion that new collectors of any age who were new in the hobby decades ago started a bit...
Any ruler who was around as long as Hadrian is going to have a variety of styles. Add to that the fact he had coins from more than one mint and...
That one is really great. To me, what makes it really special is the centering and strike. So many of these lose something like Agrippa's rostral...
