Overcleaned? Certainly! Fake? I do not think so. Why do you suspect it?
We will just have to disagree on this one. Over the last 50 years I have had my fill of dealers who act like there is something special about a...
12 Caesars collectors suffer from the fact that there is no good bronze coin of Otho. He made no Roman bronzes and the few provincials tend to...
On the right appears to be a pointed foot spade of the same date range reading Da Yin. Compare Hartill 3.63. Some of these have numerals on the...
On the left appears to be a flat handled square foot spade from Liang state 350-250 BC but I do not know enough about these to say whether it is...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] See if these go away also. All are the same photo but there is something odd about the software.
The middle one is a Roman Provincial of Caesarea in Cappadocia by Trajan from the early 2nd century AD. The other two look like late issues (1st...
To me, Procopius has a lesson to teach. What should he have done if, if fact, the story is true that Julian sent him an Imperial Robe but died...

I still have the situation of being able to remove an image by enlarging it and then reloading the page. It always comes back when I leave CT and...
I just clicked on my image to see it full size and when I refreshed by reloading page, the image was gone. Backing out of CT altogether and...
I checked IE, Firefox and Chrome and saw images with each so I have no idea what is happening. Does CT have a technical moderator we could ask?
I was not planning to post this until tomorrow but another thread provided the information that Steve would not see it if I waited so here goes:...
Here is the story on ancient coins: There are a lot of them out there so you don't have to buy ones you don't want and will see again and again....
Getting down to the last couple of my recent additions, I offer this hard to photograph (looks better in hand as they say) AE3 of Procopius. His...
I tend to agree with that but I make a distinction between banker's marks that are applied by the dozen with no consideration for where they fall...
These are from Sri Lanka. Each is clearly lettered on the reverse as you show them (I call this side the obverse since it has the ruler's name)...
That is a quite decent specimen. Any Athens coin under obol is less common but the real rarity in the series is the 1/8th obol which I don't have...
Memo to CT posters living out West: Some of us go to bed before you post your late night specials. I do like the coin but the countermark so...
Separate names with a comma.
