Duly noted. Yes, I am nickel-and-diming him, for sure. But it is all in good spirit, so far. Won't impede the swap. He's preparing the Peacock...
Yes, but this is more fun and informative, and since we're both cool with "going public" in the discussion, why not? ;) For what it's worth,...
Ah. Sorry. Funny, I'm not a subscriber, and I was able to read it. Hm. Well, anyway, you didn't miss much that wasn't already covered in my...
Almost look like a coconut on the coin at left. Say, Deacon Ray - you're gettin' younger on us! I'm a bit younger in my own (ca. 2004) avatar...
Oh, good heavens, no. I believe that article is the corrected version, after I complained to the reporter that some of her errors and gaffes...
The Greek coin in the OP was just one piece out of a superb giveaway I won. Before I gave that to @Curtisimo I received it as a gift myself, from...

See? VAMming makes you go blind, kiddies. LOL
Yeah. The mainstream press made another whoopsie, it seems. LOL :facepalm: But yes, fascinating finds. I once watched a BBC show that featured...
PS- @Tyler Graton - that's a cool find. Was it cleaned like that when you found it? If so, it wasn't on the ground long. Ground finds don't...
My oldest "found on the ground" coin is pretty astonishingly old! And yes, this was an "eyeball" find. Did not even have my detector that day....
Ahmm... @Seattlite86 - about that ... before we left town, ladymarcovan was kind enough to do my mailing the other day. However, since yours is...
@TIF - I will hit the "like" button twice if you'll post an image of a quadekadrachm with a biga of winged boars. Thrice for a quadriga! LOL :P
Lovely medal, as usual. I particularly like the intricate reverse on this one. I think I've said this before, but for a Renaissance medallic...
