I wonder how many international sellers realise this? They think they are paying for a Registered Mail service door to door and that simply is not...
A respectable example of the type! Also, a slight attribution correction - it is 124c (lower case). The triangular frame on square seat...
Royal Mail Tracked and Signed is also treated as First Class Mail by the USPS too, although a signature is required. Personally, I've never had...
I can contribute this Titus Sarapis. [ATTACH]Titus AR Tetradrachm, 12.70g Alexandria mint, 79-80 AD RPC 2464 (13 spec.). Obv: AYTOK TITOY KAIΣ...
I was away from my computer when I posted the above. Here is the direct quote from the USPS website regarding International Registered Mail....
Yes, it's indeed a VIRTVTI AVGVSTI type, but hard to narrow down the year because of the worn obv legend. This is a common reverse repeatedly...
Hundreds of overseas shipments. Yes, you normally can track international registered mail and be required to sign for it, that doesn't mean it is...
I got this information from a USPS employee. Plus, practical experience has shown this to be the case. International Registered Mail is not locked...
International Registered Mail is treated as First Class Mail once it reaches the US. It is not treated the same as US domestic Registered Mail.
For the Flavian coinage I won't go so far to say the old RIC II is useless, but the new updated volume effectively replaces it. I haven't picked...

I have been systematically collecting Titus's coinage for over 15 years now, so you're a man after my own heart! As far as biographies - Flavian...
I won't bother with RIC numbers with all these. I'll let you determine whether or not they are 'meaner' looking. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
I normally don't bargain hunt in CNG auctions, but I had purchased a fairly expensive coin earlier in the day and felt a bit thrifty.
I lost out on a Titus sestertius in today's CNG eAuction (not clio'd!) because I was trying to get a bargain. Here is one I was more successful...
I have the book and it was the first place I looked when researching the coin, unfortunately it isn't mentioned.
I quite agree. Sure, as a specialist I enjoy acquiring coins with rare dating combinations, but nothing beats a piece like this that has broad...
'And you may ask yourself, this is not my beautiful coin!'
It is a fairly common type, rated as 'very common' in RIC II. Finding a specimen in decent condition is the rarity, luckily a few of our fellow...
I think you're correct. The design would be much more cluttered if the columns did not fade. It would've taken away from the foreground action,...
Separate names with a comma.
