The majority of the c/m coins of this period I have seen strike me as unofficial. That supports the theory that they were marked as approval to...
Wow, Steve, if you think that coin is a boar, I can hardly imagine what one you might find interesting. :confused: The scene as I understand it...
It is amazing how we find falling horsemen, wolves and twins and racing bigas boring not because they are bad but because we have seen a lot of...
I never say a coin is definitely good from a photo. This one looks believable to me but has been butchered. Value depends on ID and condition....
I am not thrilled by the endless series of chariots unless they are pulled by snakes or have something otherwise special. Similarly I have enough...
