Another of my Fredericksburg coins was this Licinius from Alexandria. [ATTACH] It would be prettier without the green cover on the burgundy but...
80 dealers do not take long to dismiss when 70 of them have nothing but proof like slabs. I have now decided that I will sell my coins packaged...
Mine is 1/12 (too fat at .5g for this game) and very worn. It is, however, very unusual in that it has perfect centering with crown, bow, dagger...
From the Fredericksburg show came two very ordinary grade coins with slightly unusual legends referring to the fact that the emperors really...
The one I might expect to cause you trouble is the second despite the clear legends. I wonder if these are in fact from a hoard as opposed to...
Scourupsky - tall man with considerable Russian accent but easy to understand. Most of the coins he showed me were in packaging from their...

Don Zauche - but he was at Gettysburg also. Thanks for leaving it for me.
Yesterday's coin show provided me with 17 new items of which half will be of interest to no one (so why will I show them???). I hope some will...
Martin is a specialist in one mint and there are rarities there which are more common elsewhere. In addition there are many minor variations like...
The underbidder is the most important person in an auction. If all of us losers stopped trying, the guys that bid a million would win on their...
For coin collectors, it is easier to distinguish the periods than for historians. Ancients are made with some care to transmit the somewhat...
