@Orange Julius Your Justinian looks like a year 32 to my eye, with the II at the bottom spaced to match the general width of the column above. I...
These are some coins that possess a magnetism I was unusually attracted to, and which still draw my hands and invite affectionate handling quite...
I'll reiterate that my newb opinion isn't worth much, but that coin is junk. Equivocating "weak strike" justifications (from swindlers) aside, the...
Wow, 10 grams is quite respectable for such an artifact, very nice find!
Fantastic, that's some genuine collecting right there! Which was the last coin you acquired to complete the set?
I've bought and sold on eBay since I was in 5th grade; 20 years this month, so am infinitely more comfortable with the platform than the...
Do you happen to know the chemical composition of the red encrustation?
My opinion isn't worth much, but could it be a debased silver (maybe ~20-40%) counterfeit? More expensive but probably faster than the fouree...
Here's his website: https://www.bestcoins666.com/ It seems that his eBay account is no longer registered, not sure if he has a new one:...

Looks like a productive hunt, I'm looking forward to seeing the cleaned Stobi! I had gotten a Caracalla ae from Stobi in a batch of uncleaned...
After a sad day yesterday with no mail, St Nick must've been disguised as the mailman today! Several highly anticipated parcels arrived today,...
Well that looks like a nice bronze to me, appealing portrait with pronounced "pincer-like" hooked nose and chin, congrats! I'm not sure 32.00 is...
I don't know coins as well as antiquities, and agree with Ken 100%. Aside from mediocre common items of little inherent interest their artifacts...
Well crap, I bought some things from him this past week, he wasn't on Sermarini's NFSL but I now see that he complained and got provisionally...
Wonderful finds!! That is a more rare style of bronze axe, is the socket complete or is the back damaged? Either way it's a super discovery!
Very nice "upgrade", though I also agree that the worn prior coin is an XV, the apparent I just being the staff of the standard. I can't share as...
