Please compare my coin in the upper right. Perhaps I could improve it with a hammer and other tools to match its die mate or should I just ask...
I have no business sense whatsoever. Seeing the number of people present and the number of them buying and the small number of tables sold, I...
Well no, actually, it was the smallest show I have ever been to. One guy had a couple hundred ancients of which maybe ten would have followed me...
Errors are errors. To me, they get more interesting when we see the same error made on more than one die. What make someone write SPE? This is...
Don't you love the reddish glow of the copper cheeked boy? Perhaps this coin is better in fourree. Perhaps not. Mine leaves no question. [ATTACH]
I have two of these but one is fourree. I do prefer the ones like Mikey's that shows a small gap between the right shoulder and horse. I doubt...
Unsold may mean withdrawn.
I wonder if the winner knew or just got lucky.
At least that nobody got a CT thread. His poor brother died and was common enough no one cares even for his coins. I went to a tiny coin show...
Mother approves. My Caracalla has a fancier pose with snake. All these are after the death of Septimius. Younger ones seem harder to find....

I'd say Geta for the second. I read CEpiTI and see a young face so Publius Septimius Geta seems like a good guess. I'm not at all sure of the...
That is a very good site from which I'll post the link to one very informative page: http://ptolemybronze.com/ptolemy_series.html Go almost all...
They made a million poor ones and then accidentally made a decent one before making another million lousy ones. These were turned out in...
That last set of images is 100% better. Under the figure is a mint mark. Mine reads SMKB which may be what yours is. Can you make out the...
I believe this translates that there is disagreement on the denominations of this period and you can find the same coin listed with different...
I know it is not an opinion shared by all but being able to produce an image of a coin that shows detail and color within reason is a...
Like eBay, vCoins does not sell coins. They link buyers with their member dealers and how you are treated depends entirely on which dealer you...
It should come as no surprise that I do not care whether a coin is prooflike or not but I do really like this coin for the unusual reverse legend...
