Sweet looking coin Mikey! I love that reverse.
Domitian Caesar's COS VI and COS VII coins are assigned under Vespasian and Titus respectively, although the reality may not have been so neat....
Congrats on getting your coins transferred to envelopes! IMHO, other than trays, this is the best way to store ancient coins. Traditional,...
Congrats on acquiring a rare first issue Titus as Augustus! I love that issue. Your Judaea Capta (RIC 1) and the other two types from the issue,...
That sucks. It's always a kick in the pecans when a coin is lost in the post. USPS has really been quite hit and miss lately. Here is a coin I'm...
Oh, what a splendid coin! A perfect example of just how rare these mules really are. Other than the 'o' mint issue, they really are hard to come by!
Great coin Bing! It has what I would call 'comfortable wear' and good eye appeal. I hope all is going well with your move!
Awesome pick up! Nice bold portrait too.
That's a story I would love to hear!
OK, now that's a coin I'm unfamiliar with. Do you know anything about its history and why it was overstruck?
The OP coin is quite accidental. Vespasian and Titus Caesar had the same types struck for them in parallel issues, of course with their own...
Trust me, I was very surprised to have come across it! In the RIC II introduction mules are described as 'common' in the Flavian era. I'm not so...
I initially thought I was going to have to inform Ted Buttrey that an R3 coin is now R2. Happily, I don't have to email him now.
Gosh, I'm sorry to hear about this Steve. I hope they turn up soon. It's bad enough when the PO losses them.
Yes. That's why I'm very thrilled to have acquired it. To be honest, I did not know it was the unique specimen cited in RIC until after I...
Once in a while a truly spectacular coin comes around - I was lucky enough to come across this one last week. Easily it will make my 'Top Ten of...
I have other coins that are not as well preserved, but this one's style sent it to the top of my 'worst' list.
For me it's sloppy die engraving and craftsmanship. For someone else it may be something different. I have other coins in worse condition than...
Yes, 'Manos' is truly a wretched film that needs to be seen to be believed. Kevin Murphy, the voice of Tom Servo, once remarked it's the worst...
Doug in another thread warned others not to buy coins struck on a Friday afternoon. It got me wondering what I would consider my worst looking...
