That's very nice of you. Yep, those were about the quality of the 2004 era coins. Actual uncleaneds are getting much harder to find. Perhaps...
I ordered coins like those in the picture, from dirtyoldcoins in 2004, when the coins were actually uncleaned - it's incredibly rare to find...
I certainly regretted cleaning some Allen Berman junkbox coins, back in the1990's. I don't think I used anything except a very soft brush, but...
That's why I never look at the tracking. I'd be anxious each time. My packages from Germany probably would have looked as ominous.
Leave it as it is.
Yes, I forgot the Quinarius! And isn't there a gold Quinarius, as well?
Neat! That's a handsome dupondius. With a semis and a quadrans, the 12 Caesars period will be complete. Those were the lowest denominations.
Some countries are faster than others. I thought at first that the Netherlands took forever because orders from Biga would take forever (although...
I think it was numisforums where I posted mine during the summer of 2022. There was some discussion about it, where the bits about it being a...
That's a nice, bold example. While I have a fair number of Sestertii, I don't have any nice examples of this type.
I vividly remember an example during the 1990's when I had ordered a very expensive coin, and it was 30 days in domestic post. I really sweated...
My suburb does an excellent job of plowing the streets and I ended up going in for half a day. Everyone almost fainted that I showed up during a...
[ATTACH] Crusaders, Antioch. Tancred (Regent, 1101-03, 1104-12). Æ Follis (23mm, 4.46g, 6h). Bust of Tancred facing, wearing turban and holding...
[ATTACH] Justinian II is even more interesting than Justinian I. Perhaps he'll be a future piece. If you like Game of Thrones, he's the guy. A...
I'd definitely get John a nice Christmas/birthday present.
Germany is notoriously slow.
The garbage truck slid down the hill earlier. I heard scraping outside and a private plow was doing the street. There's no snow on the radar,...
The White Death is outside, and it's not Nicephorus II (his nickname), although that'd be cooler. Snowwww. Maybe the phantom emperor could clear...
Not yet. Later tonight. At least I don't have to worry about getting home. The dew point is 5 degrees, so it's going to take a while for snow...
Thanks! Whoops, looks like I accidentally uploaded the Anastasius coin with a face cone-flaw, as well.
