I've only had one Max Thrax, back in my old "A to Z" (Augustus to Zeno) portrait set (which was my first Roman coin pursuit in 2007-08). I like...
Counterstamps are fun! @OdedPaz - that's a neat assortment. In my love token collecting, I've found most of those 19th century pieces to be...
That one, not quite one cent. Still, it's kinda groovy lookin' damage. Fun.
Canada too, eh? I'll put you some fun freebies together. No '55 DDO! (I think those were only Phillies and not S-mints, anyway.) Just PM your...

Wow. More Batman than Darth Vader, then?
Yeah, no pix on the cert page. Wonder why? Recently graded? Should have a TrueView if so.
I'm beginning to understand, I think. So this Clio is the Darth Vader of ancient coin auctions? I buy at fixed price, mostly. However, for my...
From whence did this "Clio" phraseology originate? I'm a tad confused. I came in expecting a thread about Cleopatra. No Cleo VII coins to...
Always loved those cute little rectangular Meiji coins.

Onetime centerpiece of the old Holey Gold Hat: a gold solidus of the Byzantine emperor Zeno, struck after 476 AD. The only coin I've owned with...
