I prefer photos I can see to photos I can't. If I have a coin in hand and it is too dark to see, I move to brighter light rather than cursing the...
Rarity means nothing. Demand is what drives prices. An interesting type in fine style with perfect striking and preservation will appeal to many...
It is something we each must face. Do we want to buy just one representative coin in perfect condition or a selection across the range of mints,...
Yes, he bought another one. Actually the last five coins I bought were Falling Horsemen. This is a FH2 of the subtype where the 'sitting'...
Bidding early gets you on the list to be notified so you can see how the lot is going. I don't bid early on coins I want. Those get sniped. If...
Yes. 10.1 is listed as Hecatompylos. 10.4 is Nisa with the N and there are several other exergue letters listed as Mint:? which leaves open the...
Correct. Aurelian did not consider V a collegue but V was trying to promote his position in world politics. It did not go well in the end.
In the good old days, eBay openly posted the handle of bidders so I could bid $1 and my friends would not bid against me. That was really not...

It is a joke complete with a o_O : I would consider trading not for an Anonymous Republican Denarius but I would consider a 1/4 denarius of that...
I read the extensive write ups like the one that came with this wonderful coin and ask just what the coin did to be so abused. Sellwood 10.4...
Steve, Epiphanes is not a name but means 'God Manifest' so it really is not appropriate for the second airing of the scorpion. My example is not...
Valentinian lives in a more enlightened area. My local library has almost nothing on ancient coins (they have Sayles volume one). I have faith...
I do not have a coin of this die but the situation reminds me of my favorite Laodicea die pair. [ATTACH][ATTACH] As Martin said, for years there...
We don't get to see the other side? The taper of the flan is most interesting. I have not seen one of these.
As I recall ERIC II has RIC cross reference in the far right column along with Cohen where appropriate.
Great coins! Of course now someone (me, actually) will ask you to explain TF and FT, the double and single capes, the dots or not in the...
No, Steve, just leave it to me in your will along with all those great coins you have been buying. :D Meanwhile use it at every opportunity and...
