I realize that there are people who get coins slabbed for a discount and not all slabbed coins actually cost someone the $35 or $12 or whatever...
I believe I have posted before about the 36 jar gem case I bought for housing coins too small to fend for themselves in regular trays? I decided...
Does ANACS note deficiencies on ancient slabs? (Do you have one to show?) How bad does it have to get before they do? The OP coin has very minor...
$23.50 strikes me as what that coin would have brought several years ago (before anyone was slabbing ancients) so it is hard to imagine anyone was...

Part of me is sad that what we paid $75 for a short time ago is worthless now but the book in PDF loaded on an iPad or some similar device would...
I really like the Raja Raja. They are very common coins but strike and centering often conspire to make them ugly compared to this one (although...
I assume he is talking about another Doug. My addiction is much beyond Roman. According to my records only 17 of my last 100 coins have been Roman.
There have been several threads on this but the bottom line is it will take the British Museum a while to sort through the mess and preliminary...
The only thing at all different in this group is #2 which is a 'Barbarous radiate' copy of a Tetricus I (#3 is the real Tetricus style but a...
