It's quite a bit nicer than mine! Is that a hoard patina on the Nero Tetradrachm?
Is there anywhere where I can learn a little more about Ruprecht?
That's pretty neat! What caused the unusual 'overflow' edge?
Thank you; those results do show a lot of similarities. Good thing I asked! I mainly collect Roman and Byzantine, with a minor in Seleucid.
And per the Menander, would crystalization account for the super light weight? Trawling through acsearch, 2.45 g. is about the norm. The style...
I'm just going by the dealer's description. The coin's not yet in hand, and I know absolutely nothing about medieval German coinage. The...
Thanks very much!
Last time I jinxed myself by posting coins before I got them, but the jinx resulted in a much better coin. I also was anxious to get some more...
I'd hardly grade it 'poor'. I assume that's how the tag showed up. At least the dealer wasn't an over-grader. Poor is a slug or something...
That's awesome! I remembered you from the trays - a previous post. Nice coins! I was only just starting out when I was in high school.
I like all of them. Replying to the most recent ones, I like the Pharia type and the surfaces are nice. A solidus is always nice to have; I have...

[ATTACH] Here's a mediocre pic of my Arcadius Trier siliqua, possibly issued by Eugenius. I have very few LRBS, and the ones I do are 99%...
That's awful. Was it from Europe or somewhere else, or a purely domestic letter? I've had one coin mauled and lost due to a machine failure, but...
What happened with my Trajan Decius Double Sestertius? :(:yuck: Perhaps BD or encrustrations were scooped out of the eye, leaving the weird...
Considering how many slugs and slicks are in uncleaned lots of 370's AE3's, one wonders how long they circulated? It takes a while to reach that...
Yeah, I hate that. A vcoins dealer whom I've been frequenting does that. While it's not everyday, perhaps once or twice a week, it's still...
Congratulations on your pickup! Even the 'budget' issues of that issue are pricey. Here's my 'budget' portrait Antony. Even though the coin's...
