Be careful with those irradiated dimes! I had one as a kid; put it in a box for 15 years and when I checked on it again, it was a nickel.
Far too small - this coin is only 11mm, and I have never seen an Arab-Byzantine coin below about 15-17mm, plus they usually have sharp strikes but...
Totally unfair question - I can't pick just one! One of the ones that sprung to mind first was this one: Unknown AE11, 0.77g Obv: Helmeted bust?...
Nice examples! It seems that he was pretty consistent in turning out nice drachms! [ATTACH]
I eventually figured out that including a picture like this helps minimize that sort of question and/or feedback [ATTACH] (Ignore the dust)
Sort of an odds and ends lot, lots of really beautiful pieces, the only ones that don't start at a .99 cent starting bid are the ones I secretly...
Ahhhhh! I missed the memo that live bidding was on Biddr - that explains everything. Bummer :(

I have a handful of Greek portrait coins, mostly incidental lot accumulation rather than a deliberare purchase. The first living kings to appear...

I tried to wait until I had this one in hand - hopefully I won't jinx it. This is a coin I never in a million years thought I would be able to...
Nice! I have always loved that these Parthian tets have a date down to the month (can't even get that with modern coins!), but I have never owned...
And as others have stated, the sky's the limit as far as RPC goes. Not only do provincial coins have coins of empresses and other imperial...
I would say that a complete set of emperors is impossible on a budget anywhere south of several million dollars, and a complete set of usurpers is...
I won't do business with them - the damage their fakes have done to the market for terminal LRB / Gothic coinage is unforgivable.
Is this an actual hoard dug out of the ground together? If so, very interesting to see a Philip II in the mix - I guess akin to finding a silver...
Beautiful coin! Ours are sisters! [ATTACH]
Thanks all, and some very nice examples posted! Prior to this one, I had two particularly nice Gallienus sole reign coins that I had saved This...
