Your vision is 20/20. The problem here was caused by someone copying the RIC listing which always lists the mark for the first officina (in this...
Thanks, LED lights and improved batteries have really chanced the game when it comes to flashlights.
I had not thought of it this way. I have half a dozen coins of Heraclius including a really messy one of the same type and a Sicilian overstrike...
First they will have to decide if they are worth separating. As a display in a museum, they would be more popular as a lump. Of course there is...
That's OK, Steve, I'm not an engineer. I once wanted to be useful like Thomas the Tank Engine but that is altogether different.
So far we have had many variations on the head of Apollo. Does anyone else have full length Apollos to show? These are Provincials. [ATTACH]...

Anyone here buy this on vCoins? [ATTACH]
My question is whether I should put this coin in my collection or in my 'trade stock'. The mailman just brought it today but I did not buy it. I...
Since my name was used, I'll point out that I do not have a Galba denarius but am very much in the market for one but I have a particular style in...
Ken's oval question is a good one and I'll add on a question perhaps related. What sort of blanks were those tets struck on? The coins tend to...
These two Antioch folles have some interesting differences. The year 8 places the III above the U and has a lower case m while the 17 is normally...
I sold my only one ever (diferent reverse) in 1974 before I took photos so all I have is a foil pressing. I paid 50 cents from a junk box in a...
