I'm always i the minority on everything here but I really think collectors are taking this star business a lot more seriously than the mint did....
Here is the fact. To a specialist, an officina variant is interesting. To shallow general collectors like me, there are many more interesting...
Lets try to be a little better than the press. There never was an emperor Maxmillian but that is close enough to Maximianus that we know what was...
It seems we hang around where problems are the norm. Perhaps we should try something really hard. Is there an Alexandria without problems? I...
Like many of Trajan's coins, the camel comes in varieties. Here we have with and without the ARAB legend. I strongly ARAB just like I prefer REX...
Don't forget to be asking for Senior discounts everywhere you go. By the way, do you offer a discount to old people or maybe a free follis? :hungry:
