I have very few later Laodicea denarii. I have too many Emesa and just the right number of Alexandrias (not really). [ATTACH] The one below is...
My coin show proceeds included four Greek silver coins weighing under a gram each. I like Tiny Treasures. My page on the subject has not been...
I do this with CNG but would not suggest it with a seller you don't feel certain about in every way. If you forget you bid on something, it can...
That is a nice example from the later period of Laodicea. After Septimius finished off the rival claimants to the throne and punished the...
There are always multiple threads here on overlapping subjects. I prefer starting new, shorter threads rather than stealing those already...
To me this is the most important feature of our little CT family. We share some common interests but not in all the details. We need not agree...
Actually, I have very few Seleucid coins compared to most people and have trouble working up a lot of interest in them. I did not think of...

I just returned from the Fredericksburg show with 29 coins new to me although a couple were upgrades and a couple were bought for my gift/trade...
