I like the 48 denomination clearly marked MH but the 144 shows only PM. I assume there was a delta under the c/m? It appears that inflation hit...
I am in no way suggesting you used a term incorrectly but just suggesting that it is not necessary to take those terms all that seriously. What...
I have considerable question in my mind just how many of these terms are ancient and how many were created by and for the benefit of 19th century...
I believe this is the correct answer. I don't buy 'true high-quality' although I see an awful lot of low end coins masquerading as such in high...
Great snake moving left. The ones I have seen seem to be stationary and facing. Beards are standard. [ATTACH][ATTACH]
I am worried. I have bought more coins this month than my usual degree of cheapness would suggest should be expected. Most notably, the prices...
That looks like a winner!
I'm one that has never been able to get into Chinese coins and increasing import restrictions might make that a good thing anyway. One thing to...
I trust you recognized the Marius in that lot. The question is whether the person that wandered into the shop was aware that Marius was a step up...

The difference between 114 and 92 is weight. #92 should be heavier (over 2g or so) matching the two soldiers, two standards coins while #114 is...
I trust all realize that the tax some here are calling a poll tax was the then current form of the temple tax required in Exodus from a Jewish...
After careful consideration, I believe you went too far with the line assuming you are not crazy. I certainly would not pay $330 for that...
Certainly there is always room for discussion as to what coin is truly the 'one' but the standard tax coin is usually the Melkart, Tyre model....
The same Tyre Shekel that is credited with being Judas' 30 pieces of silver gets this duty also. The tax was the smaller (half shekel) of two...
Above is nothing but fact. Tiberius is the worst of the 12 Caesars and the 12 as a whole are more beneficiaries of historical hysteria than...
This might be a place to ask if there is a place for local shops in the ancient business. These are, to use Ripley's term, OK coins. No full...
Separate names with a comma.
