I do not know the origin of calling the Shahi kings Nezak Huns and whether it is appropriate or not. Print works: Tye, Robert, Jitals...
I believe it is a checkbook wrestle when you butt heads bidding. I can't help thinking there is a rear half of an animal coin but it is too...
Today the mail brought three coins and rarely do I get three coins about which I know less. One is a modern Spanish (Philip II????) so it got its...
This coin seems so well centered that it lost all the outside legends and I'm lost where to start with the ID. Comparing to other coins of the...
All look real to me, too. I don't see #1 (Ptolemy) or #3 (Commodus - name at left) as all that bad but #2 (Nemausis) is pretty close to...

I suspect the coin was cured of mild bronze disease the way it was done in the old days - digging down to good metal. Is the coin worth $700? I...
I do not know the difference but it does not seem to be weight. I believe that radiates are much less common. Did you notice that they come...
Did you note that CNG called a coin of .56g a hemiobol (or 1/16) but one of .44g an obol....
If a coin is 1/16 stater and a stater is 2 drachms then it is 1/8 of a drachm. An obol is 1/6 of a drachm so the closest equivalent would be...

Tonight on the Science Channel was a show (Biblical Conspiracies S1 Ep4) presenting the proposed ID of remains of Judean king Mattatayah Antigonus...
[ATTACH] Nice! Mine has three dots where yours has the Z. They come with one to five dots , S and Z for workshops. We find a similar system...
