I'm going to shamelessly show off one of my newer acquisitions again. A unique Vespasian mule cited in RIC. [ATTACH] Vespasian Mule AR Denarius,...
To me, the early coinage of Vespasian at Rome is interesting because it is transitional in style. There are some portraits you look at and think...
I got one yesterday and the tracking was very similar. [ATTACH] Notice it took over 2 weeks after clearing customs to be delivered. There is hope!
I'm quite taken with this style of portraiture on Titus' denarii. Some of his finest dies have it. As a matter of fact, the first Titus denarius...
It finally arrived today! There is nothing on the package to indicate it was a hassle to deliver (wrong address, damage, etc.). Very odd. Later...

That gives me some hope. My fear is the USPS scanners are not reading the address correctly for some reason and they keep bouncing it from one...
It's odd that this iconic type was only struck for a junior Caesar during the Flavian era. [ATTACH] Domitian Caesar AR Denarius, 3.17g Rome...
Currently, I have a coin touring the Eastern seaboard. [ATTACH] I've never had a package go missing after it has cleared customs and is in the...
I love photos like that! I use this one with a black background for my computer's wallpaper. [ATTACH]
