Thanks for the link to RPC online. I could use a resource like that for my large batch of unattributed Provincials.
I voted, but assumed that your comment was based more on the appearance of the effigy than how much you knew about the figure behind it. I'm...
I hear this a lot from people who have a rather stilted view of what that hobby is all about at its core. Did you ever progress from being a...
I can relate, and you really got a nice one. Back in the late 90s a dealer by the name of Ed Waddell ran an auction in which he offered an...
I can show comparisons if we move beyond the Constans/rockpile, but I don't recommend it. Things were not entirely uniform for these "Siscian"...
I just got my invoice too, and paid it. This comes the day after they announced that their next sale is online, so I would guess that getting...
Am I looking at the same pic as Doug? Here is what I'm looking at lightened and expanded: [ATTACH] The initial character looks broader at the...
Right. Tertia was mainly dedicated to his brother, while he got first dibs on officina Quattor. Nice catch!
I haven't done much with these but I do have the two common types, and this one to show which van Heesch groups as a type 6a at 16mm, 1.54g from...

Don't equate the stamp market with the sale of bulk rate postage. People like Frank R have been saving by buying discount postage for years...
Please see my comment/request added to the earlier thread. I really would like to read this piece by Corfú, but will not give my real name to the...
I would like to read the article by Nicolas Corfú, but do not wish to sacrifice my privacy to do it. Anyone got a link to a copy I can read...
I think I can understand this a bit. It has to do with what I might call "informed expectation." If the best known example has problems but is...
This is a critical point. The number does not define grade according to an absolute standard, but rather in relation to other known and...
Gee, Sallent, thanks for the warm fuzzy. You're such an affectionate guy, and so understanding.
What is OCRE? Old Coins of the Roman Empire? Got it. An ANS site for updating the RIC. http://numismatics.org/ocre/
Sounds like ancient Rome. Of course we will see more of that as the influence of Christianity continues to decrease. Pluralism has a price tag.
This train wreck is important to me but is no great howling rarity and is not actually one that I would normally collect. It is an AE24 Roman...
