Two things I have learned about metal detecting in the last 30+ years: If you dream big and expect riches, there's a 99% chance you're gonna get...
I used a Garrett GTI-2500 in England but it died on me over there. I had a rain cover for it but must've gotten water inside the control housing...
Thank you! (I was sorta hoping to earn my first "homepage featured" thread with this. ;) Indeed. While there's no way to know for sure, I do...
Now that's great. The "swirl" effect of the photo background is cool, too. Here is my very similar Domitian from my old Twelve Caesars set (note...
Nice silvering on that, and nice photo, too.
@Eaglefawn - PM me your snailmail address and I'll make you a winner, too. (Not of a Silver Eagle, but of some other kind of pretty BU silver....
I went with "yes, I guess", since I find that sort of thing slightly interesting, though I don't collect TPG plastic variations myself. I have to...
PS- I'm struck by the similarities of that portrait to the head of Mars seen on the Q. Thermus denarii of the Roman Republic (a type I have always...
Agree with @Pishpash - I'd compare with VCoins examples. Looks like a nice high grade example, though cleaned a bit shiny for my tastes. Still,...
"Kushan Vasudeva" sounds like, "Achoo! Gesundheit!" (sneeze and response) to me. LOL ;) Seriously, though, I only recently learned what tiny bit...
Thanks. I'm afraid that once one departs from the Roman or Cyrillic alphabets (or maybe Greek, if I'm persistent in my head-scratching), and...
It certainly used to act like a beacon to online colleagues when I wore the hat on the bourse floor at big national shows. I get tired of looking...
Is that ICG plastic?
Neat! Your coin is much older than I expected.
Yep. I like it when people post pix of the giveaway stuff they've won from me, particularly when I never made pix of the items myself. (Sure,...
I don't remember what I sold them for now- not much- perhaps in the upper $10s to low $20s for each lot. But didn't have much invested in them,...
Crazy that my oldest coin find was here in GA, not England, and that it was an "eyeball" find made while doing a cursory site walk. As mentioned,...
Your attribution of "Delhi Sultanate" tells me you're already way, way ahead of me on material like this. ;) I've always thought these were neat...
BTW, experts, if you can confirm and/or correct my Arcadius attribution and the approximate dating on this piece, please do. It was something of...
