I have Hostlian, but I don't think I have Valerian II, unless it was in the Viminacium set I bought from Matt Kreuzer many years ago.
None of my best Severus-Severan coins are photographed, so here's a few random ones with dealer photos. I also have a very decrepit provincial...
Offers Bing a congratulatory Cremo cigar (reference to Bing Crosby's first show) in honor of his fine acquisition.
It's hard to remember 25 years back, but I think 90% of my auction 'wins' were remainder lots. Let's say one's budget is $1,000. How's one going...
I also save a ton of money. If I don't know what's going on in the auction sites, I'm not tempted by anything and I do not bid. There's more...

Hmm, I can hear the postman. I know when he's coming two or three streets away - the distinct sound of the motor. It's not a hideously loud...
A vcoins search of "blue patina" comes up with 43 results and only 2-3 of those are what I'd call a blue patina. I quite fancy the hoard patina...
[ATTACH] I think my latest one is real; it came from a very reputable dealer and the patina looks bona fide. I hope my misty aqua one of many...
Your luck/skill is amazing! So many finds! I also asked a question of you in the blue/aqua Balkans thread.
Hmm, I bet galba68 would know. What AE colors do you most often find?
When possible I collect by patina. Are my favorite patinas, blue and aqua, found mostly in the Balkans? And what's up with Gordian and...
