Pleasingly enough, the coin's patina is pretty close to what's pictured; jade green. I think I picked up a nice 883 or 884 from Jon Subak. I'll...
Thanks for finding the earlier auction and the extra information! 882 isn't terribly rare, but a nice one has always been a bucket list want for...
You could also go Byzantine. A year 12-14 Constantinople facing bust 40 nummi from Justinian is always a good bet. Or maybe early third century...
Here's a completely random example:...
What about a large module Nero Sestertius from Lugdunum? I fancy the very large module 3rd-2nd century posthumous Alexander Tetradrachms, but you...
Ah, well that makes your case for a replacement much stronger. The stuff is purple?
The history of Byzantium podcast got me back on a Byzantine collecting kick. I've always wanted a nice example of this issue, and I finally found...
That stinks. Did it get inside the bottle? I'm assuming you meant taht it got left in the rain. Have you considered a package box? Even a...
I recently have been ordering from London Ancient Coins. On the mailing menu was the dreaded DHL (and my little order would have been...
There's also the matter of the standing (straight-legged) elephant and walking elephant; I prefer the latter. I think Forum might have one...
It's certainly an excellent podcast; so detailed. The History of Rome, which I'm still sampling, is pretty decent, but isn't quite the deep dive...
By the way, I listened to the History of Byzantium podcast episode about Leo's rule during the 720s today.
That's great to hear the good news! Let's hope for more good tidings!
That's a nice patina. Since the larger module XXX/NNN issues came later, I guess the tiny module ones came earlier. Mine's the smallest follis...
Thanks! I'll go look. I'm low on flips. Maybe they can also take care of that.
I picked up a fairly attractive (for type) Leo III 40 nummi. It was from a British dealer, the first time I had ordered from them. Both coins...
This is a wonderful idea! I love it! Initially, I misread the title as hideous tetradrachm. Now I have an image of Paul Lynde stuck in my head....
Thanks. I do have one or two full size tripods. I'll have to look in the owner's manual, but i think there's a timer. In fact, I bought a third...
Where does one get it? Is Wizard a person or a website?
Thanks for the tips!
