Gordian, Phillip II. The story confuses things giving dates fro the Frome Hoard. The first picture I saw looked like later bronzes of the...
Expect huge. I only collect ancients and will be worn out by the time I see the few dealers in the ancient and world section. I don't know how...
What is current today? I believe those countermarked Hephthalite drachms may be in that category. I recently upgraded my one with two cm's but...
This hoard photo looks nasty. It will be interesting to see what the BM professionals can do in conservation. I see that a museum group wants to...
There is a Baltimore show at the convention center this weekend. I'll be there Saturday expecting to see coins from $5 to $5000. Below is what I...

OK, then I guess this will work. For a beginner in ancients, I recommend Frank Robinson. http://www.fsrcoin.com/ Frank also sells world mostly...
Touch - daily; drop - as rarely as possible
The room I use most for coin activities has heat registers in the floor. I installed coin catcher filters in them to keep dropped coins from...
I have stayed off this question wondering just how appropriate it is to give one name when there are literally hundreds of possible answers. The...

I agree that there is no offence selling coins I may have helped identify although I admit I am more likely to put a level of effort into a hard...
Is this a case where we need to ask the moderators to close an account? I could not find it. Did you report it to eBay?
