I went to the antique shop in the part I thread. :wideyed: The quality of the stuff was simply amazing, and the prices did not seem too...
My coin of Aurelian (I had one from Gallienus too, but I do not have a picture of it :( ): [ATTACH] Now my Purchases from Trier A nice little...
Someone in a Facebook coin group ticked me off by insulting my dead cat, so I am cooling myself down by making a nice little writeup (which I find...
My Hadrian sestertius, which I believe came from @Ken Dorney [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
@GDJMSP got after me for having a sales link in my signature. Since he is a firm believer that rules should be enforced equally, I think it is...
