Wow; just about everyone has some nice ones. IdesofMarch's coins are truly spectacular. I have a mish-mash set of the 12 Caesars, but most of...
Very nice coins, TIF. The only ones I have of that lot is a decrepit version of the Domitian. How do you achieve the snazzy reflective black...
Edit: Hmm, my reply keeps getting trapped in the quote, no matter how many times I lop off the last /QUOTE.
I was lucky with the Heraclius in my concurrent thread. It came from a mostly slab dealer. The Rocus certainly looks better outside of the slab....

I enjoyed the article's snarky comment about the page's slow load times. :smug::wideyed:. I guess that explains the contractor part...
Cool; I like everyone's coins. I noted the provenance and history of the author. I don't speak Italian, and the tome is probably hard to come...
Pleasingly enough, the coin's patina is pretty close to what's pictured; jade green. I think I picked up a nice 883 or 884 from Jon Subak. I'll...
Thanks for finding the earlier auction and the extra information! 882 isn't terribly rare, but a nice one has always been a bucket list want for...
You could also go Byzantine. A year 12-14 Constantinople facing bust 40 nummi from Justinian is always a good bet. Or maybe early third century...
Here's a completely random example:...
What about a large module Nero Sestertius from Lugdunum? I fancy the very large module 3rd-2nd century posthumous Alexander Tetradrachms, but you...
