I agree with the aVF and the $100 figure but would point out that this is probably the most common and least 'special' reverse so the market for...
[ATTACH] The Nilus and my Alexandria (above) were minted in Rome in recognition of Hadrian's travels around the empire including an extensive...
This is a really nicely toned denarius. Where is the hippo and croc? It s hard to light slabs so you can see the coin.

Some may remember a short while back I mistakenly thought I had found the one coin I needed to complete my falling horseman mint set (I still need...
I'm having a little trouble understanding how such a common coin got omitted from RIC in the first place but discovered later and given the A...
A real question is what you want out of a book. I prefer books that are not catalogs of what exists but discussions of factors that apply to the...
Good looking.

[ATTACH] My Nilus is worn also but has a large and comfortable crocodile. Alexandrian drachms seem to have circulated for many years and it is...
