Remind me of this post if I ever complain about not learning something on Coin Talk. [ATTACH]
Today the local post office announced they were not delivering mail due to the foot of snow that has brought central Virginia to its knees. I...
Regular issue coins of this style can be hard enough to read considering the obligatory double striking but the Latin and Bulgarian coins can be a...
Steve has the 193 AD sestertius of this type but the OP is the later one with different obverse and reverse legends. I'll show mine just because...
It is nice but not really special. The tiny flan Septimius coins are mostly after the first year. Some of the 193 issues are nice, some less so....
Considering they were from the same source, I am surprised that I like the softer Coin Shop photo better than the harsh Triton. I shot my three...
For the record, this is my upgrade (not for sale) that made the one JA showed an orphan. Hoarding seems better than seeing them go to...
I have several thousand DS coins and trust me it is nothing to crow about. :singing: I wish I knew young/new collectors who would appreciate some...
The upper left strikes me as a Mithradates III but I can't find an exact match with Pegasus that size. I stopped buying these when people started...

This is not one of the issues I think of as often faked but the Black Sea diobols are. In general the fakes that worry me most are struck from...
Sure but not for your bee coin. I suspect the Fonteius is not on the table.:troll:
These are not the ones you are jealous of but they are Ephesos AE. Neither matches yours exactly. AE12 but with full length deer [ATTACH] AE14...
That is a beautiful coin but the two photos show the crack very differently. Did the coin change (get pressed to flatten and spread the crack or...
The question remains of the status of a bronze made in 1982 from masters made before 1917. I ran into this when the photographer Ansel Adams...
As a photographer, I was quite interested in all of the old photos taken inside Rodin's shop. One in particular showed a woman working on a large...
I see the continuation of the Alexander types as a statement in two parts: 1. This coin is good value just like the coins of the good old days...
