Thanks. I've just finally added a page to my website on Talers. Unfortunately, it only features 1 taler (Holy Roman Empire). I do own a 2nd...
I tend to specialize in very late Roman, particularly silquae and tremissisii. Have bought at least 5 of these and bid on a great number more. I...
Which hotel? I should probably try to go and always enjoy talking & drinking even if no coins are to ge found.
Since I do a talk on Ancient History as Shown by Coins at a high school, it's almost a requirement for me to have the 1st and the last "Ancient"...
I've collected 2 aureii so far, one in 2004, the other ca. 2018 or 19. On Panzerman, I believe there is significant medical research that shows...
Errr, maybe not. It's pretty much a gamble with very iffy financials. Of course there's always the feeling that if you bought it at 10 per cent,...

If it has the portrait of Edward VIII on the other side, you have quite something there!

I always wanted to get another one. My Dad picked one of these out of circulation (he saved almost no coins & currency). For some years I...
Excellent story and very nice siliqua of Magnus Maximus. I love siliqua & have managed to snag 3 of them but sadly, no M&M's. Not to forget but...
I meant to say "not that actual grade #'s are that important " I only ever had 1 with arrows half and it was a vg.
Really nice with Arrows from New Orleans. Love Lib Seateds as it's a very historical issuance. Note that exact numbers are this important but my...
Unhappily my plague (prevention) taler didn't work and I got Covid. Maybe that's why they didn't make them again after the 1st year?
