Excellent post and interesting coins, I have a small handful of Umayyad Dirhams but am still working on my Greek and am not comfortable even...
This new weight is fantastic, really quite a beautiful piece. The appeal of such items can't get much more evident than it is with your new...
Thanks for putting that site together, I'll be studying it soon. That huge Nikomedia Justinian follis (#14 in the picture) is AWESOME! What is...
Sorry to hear about the cast fake but thankfully it wasn't an expensive lesson. Just to chime in regarding Kairos, I used to buy a bunch of their...
Both are "natural" flaws/artifacts of the striking process which detract little and often enhance the appeal of ancient coins in my opinion.
9 bucks for that English penny was a solid deal, I'm quite certain that the obverse is just encrusted, looks like rust to me. You may need to try...
Wow that's an awesome coin, congratulations on an excellent addition and for making me purdy jelly!
Looks fine to me, but what brown patina are you referring to? It appears to have a relatively even dark green patina with some lighter dirt...
What a wonderful answer, thank you for taking the time to share it! That certainly contextualizes your denarii and makes a greater appreciation...
Nifty coin, but can you contextualize "quite rare" for me in relative or absolute terms? And when you say that you're actively seeking the CENS...
Excellent coin and strategy! Many republican denarii strike me as a bit simple but that one is very visually appealing. Most of us are likely in...
I've done the same, with the arrowheads being rather more affordable relative to spearheads etc. in the high school days of the early 2000s when...
Honestly the medal looks like it's from the 19th century, it's unusually large and attractive but unlikely to be very old in my opinion.
Nice scores, I like your Anastasius follis, which reminds me that I should get an upgrade! I want to like the encolpion but for obvious reasons...
Great arcane coins and an informative, almost ASMResque video, thanks for sharing and taking the time to create and share this with us! I have no...
Awesome coin! I have no idea but the gut says it's a genuine/contemporary eastern imitative parthian coin, probably way off but others here are...
My personality and interests largely coalesced and crystallized before I learned how to ride a bike, with a deep love and fascination with...
I've read that the average IQ of the world is around 88 meaning half of the planet possesses a sub-88 IQ, which is rather alarming. That plus...
At an underweight 16.37g I doubt that it's covered with horn silver or anything else anymore. Regarding how to determine its original grade since...
From the appearance of the surfaces it probably had a very thick black sulfide patina that they stripped, it may have looked much better before.
