I agree entirely with your thoughts. I think your idea of a "Where Frome" thread is good. If we discuss the burial of hoards in this thread, many...
Among 1415 argentei total the Sisak hoard had 56 of that variety for Galerius, but only 4 were pictured. I looked and yours is not one of those...
That's a very nice 3-cent piece at a very good price (unusually low?). The history of the idea of a three-cent denomination is surely interesting....
I second the thought that they are both very good coins at very good prices. Once again we see how much history and interest can be crammed into...
Al, is that your coin?
Agreed. But, for Quintillus that is difficult to find. When I saw this one at an NFA auction in 1980 I knew it was special for that reason. I paid...
The Wikipedia article on the hoard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trier_Gold_Hoard says, "An amateur archaeologist, Erich Eixner went back to the...
@TIF 's magnificent "snake on horseback" coin, which many of us would love to own, gives us a chance to pause and consider how much a really...
I don't think so. If someone posts a coin that is for sale, that person takes the risk of increasing the interest in it, but does not have a claim...
Thank you! Some scholars think they abbreviated that into a monogram on coins. Interesting.
When Vespasian died his sons Titus and Domitian issued coins with legends noting that they were sons of the deified Vespasian. Here is one of...
In the Kleiner article I cited your type first appears in a hoard buried c. 76 BC. The "KP" type is dated to 85-76 BC, under Roman rule.
Here is a TransferWise website that explains why their transfers are a better deal than you get elsewhere:...
In the second century BC Rome was continually expanding. In Asia the Pergamene King Attalos III willed his kingdom to the Romans upon his death in...
No, they don't. I have recently used it for as little as $104 and I am unaware of a lower limit.
I am a fan of TransferWise for payments from one country to another. Not only are their fees only about 1/2%, they use the published exchange...
Thanks for the interesting photos.
@Alegandron , this one looks overstruck: Perhaps the undertype could be identified. There is a database of Greek overstrikes discussed here....
As far as I can tell, reporting criminals to eBay does nothing. However, I do it fairly often anyway. On the lower right of each item there is an...
Before you glue it back together, see if you can get some great photos of the interior. We 'd like to see what a cross section looks like when a...
