Very helpful, thank you! You make it look so easy, hah. Guess I'd better invest in Varbanov's books so I don't ask such silly questions in the...
I bought this as a random unidentified coin last year along with several bronzes of the Macedonian Koinon, and have been having some difficulty...
My pictures are garbage, but in-hand it seems stylistically indistinguishable from your drachm, only smaller. I'm not sure how best to describe...
Nice gorgon @Collect89 , one of those drachms was my first ever Greek silver coin! I have a Klazomenai gorgon that looks as though it was struck...
Yep lots and lots of fakes, with some authentic cheap bronzes and higher quality fixed-price coins to maintain appearances. Most of the fancier...
Wonderful, thank you taking the time to collate the info, I've got some homework to do!
Carausius, thank you for expressing your position, and if it isn't too much bother, is there a good central resource for reviewing the current...
It seems the threat of regulation is something I haven't truly taken seriously. My instinct is to react to infringements on rights to personal...
Fair enough, I'm not a "high-end" collector and don't claim to speak for those of you who are. I may think Beanie-Babies are worthless but many...
I was of the impression that they are rather over-valued relative to their prevalence. For starters, Roman coins in general seem to be the most...

Looks like there was some tooling in the hair but not too much, it's a nice coin!
I had picked up some "Etruscan" (unlikely but I dunno) gold earrings/decorative items from a collection being liquidated, which appear to be made...
Awesome! Thank you, I had read about them being surfaced in a lathe but never seen such pronounced marks, is the spiral line on the reverse from a...
Oh, stingray teeth!
Brushes to keep dust off magnetic tape as it's being fed through?
I wouldn't spend more than 40-50 bucks for it. Those are pretty fun coins but not rare or special, plus it'd slabbed which I personally dislike....
I don't know what the projectiles of the mercenary-slingers of Aspendos or Selge were composed of, but whatever they were the impression I get is...
Nice bullet! It is of a rather substantial weight, a common trait with Romano-Iberian sling bullets but unusual when compared with generally...
Thanks for sharing! I too enjoy the silver fractions and bronzes (still have 20/12 vision so tiny coins pose no problems) but the big silvers are...
