Aaron Berk's latest 'podcast', #71 has a great infographic (29:36) of how to use the proper codes to avoid getting hassled. My first package from...
Welcome to ancient coins. I've been collecting since 1993 (1980's if one counts my first two coins), and my first coin was even grottier. I'm...
Well, after procrastinating I looked at my email, and saw something very unexpected, an email from FedEx saying that my package has been released...
I'll have to check my email. Ugh, what a hassle. I suspect that 3299 is not the right form. Very little of it had to do with actual goods.

Johnmilton's post reminds me that Claudius is one of those Caesars whom it would be cheaper to buy something like a cistophorus. They're not too...
Mine is mixed, and contains an execrable Claudius aureus. I'd probably include the nice NGC VF Claudius as if I were to do pictures. I'm not...

Do you think mine is Mint 2?
Ooh, I like this topic! This is one of my interests. I'm more interested in the large double sestertii, of good style, which are getting harder...
And that's where Totalus Rankium and the history comes in. By listening to Heraclius' episode, you'd learn about the fascinating history,...
Good call! I LOVE Sasanian silver, especially the 'skeletal' style of the 7th century. I haven't ordered anything since the tariff mess (really...
I think there was a typo; Constantius I as Caesar (293-305).
