Love the set you put together Doug---unfortunately, all I have is a silver Ant.
I just noticed this 'nice' example of a Nero sestertius, but something seems 'off' to me... Any comments would be appreciated. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I couldn't agree more!!! And a TERRIFIC photo to boot!!!
Ditto to the above posts..... and what a gorgeous coin!! Terrific eye-appeal!!! Hmmm, I seem to have a 'liking' for Mars too---must be a 'guy'...
Very nice !!!! I still need to grab a JC that either has a decent portrait for the price or an attractive non-bronze example like you...
'Al', Wonderful group of eagles!!!!! LOVE those coins!!!!
That's a super-sweet coin!!!! It has everything you could possibly love about a coin--Fantastic portrait and a killer reverse!!
Hi 'A-C-G' !!! I love that early sextans...Bing will drool over it LOL
Now they are my favorites too TIF !!! Just fantastic examples!!!
No 'Q', not a lottery, just small lump sums still owed to me as part of my retirement benefits....with a few more to arrive after December. Love...
Thanks guys for the kind comments....
Since an unexpected and significant amount of cash (alas, not a substantial one) arrived today, I couldn't resist purchasing attractive examples...
Eng, that's an absolutely gorgeous coin!!! Congrats!!!
WOW, zumbly, I LOVE the coins you posted!!!
I recently won a 'duplicate' scarce emperor portrait at auction and now have a provincial bronze from Antioch and now an Imperial...
Perhaps just some distilled water and a very soft nylon or wire brush??? As 'pish' would say, just a 'tickle'...and very lightly done at that....
Yep, already have, but that photo is still currently the best one I have (sellers photo). But I may be using Doug Smiths CD case suggestion soon...
Terrific purchase Bing and great examples everyone!!! My Bronze Ant of Florianus---a modest purchase from 'Holding History': [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Wonderful posts 'guys' !!!! And, 'red_spork' reminded me of my similar 'little' eagle type with Hispania: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
