Can someone bail me out and post an EF Roman coin, preferably raw? My example was a little iffy, and my photography's not going to improve...
True, DonnaML. Anyway, the slabs were a very thoughtful present from my dad. The local coin shop has a small array of ancients, sometimes NGC...
Didn't ancient historians claim that it silphium was wiped out on purpose, to avoid extra taxes? When I was choosing my Solidus of APsimar the...
Excuse the lousy photo, please. I'll upgrade it in the future if the proper stand/extra lighting helps. I think Matt Kreuzer got the grade right...
On the old school scale, aVF, but ditto Roman collector's sentiments, a lovely and desirable denarius. Very nice! Heck, that's the grade that...
Yes, I thought the same thing about the reverse of the Philip after I posted it. The HJB tag said "mint state." However, I couldn't come up with...

Lol, yeah! I wonder what happened? Even dealers whom I like and buy often from are inflating grades. [ATTACH] I guess this could be graded EF by...
I've noticed this phenomenon lately on vcoins (and I'm sure other places) of rampant grading inflation. Since there's a picture I can grade it...
Ah, how delightful!
David did it again! That's a very interesting addition to your splendid Flavian collection. I think the last Vespasian I bought was about 10...
[ATTACH] This Hostilian of mine looks like it's escaped any smoothing :wacky:. IdesOfMarch01, posted: "It might be educational and informative if...
Aha, Faustina Friday always brings me cheer! The denarius with the star is really different. I also really like Donna's republican denarius!
David has a very interesting coin. I had no idea that there were restoration types of Galba. [ATTACH] 35091. Orichalcum sestertius, RIC I 245,...
