Although, not as elegant as @Andrew McCabe's tray, these are my Covid Coins awaiting a trip to the safe deposit box once the bank fully reopens....
BTW, that is one rare denarius! It took me many years to acquire my 2 specimens. The vast majority of the seated Pax types are dated COS VI -...
Great addition Andrew! For me, the most interesting thing about these Spanish issues is the mysterious mint that produced them. Here is what I...
I don't know why I held off so long acquiring one of these large Judaean bronzes struck by Agrippa II for Vespasian. The portraits are a treat and...

To be honest, this was my first choice. [MEDIA] But I thought a creaky '60s psychedelic pop song would be to obscure.
Sometimes you just luck out. My latest coin is a great example of this - a Vespasian dupondius woefully misattributed (as Fortuna) and therefore...
Pie in the sky goal - a Titus Colosseum sestertius. A more realistic goal - a Vespasian Temple of Jupiter sestertius. Wish me luck!
Hassle free transactions. Very professional service too.
