The history of Byzantium podcast got me back on a Byzantine collecting kick. I've always wanted a nice example of this issue, and I finally found...
That stinks. Did it get inside the bottle? I'm assuming you meant taht it got left in the rain. Have you considered a package box? Even a...
I recently have been ordering from London Ancient Coins. On the mailing menu was the dreaded DHL (and my little order would have been...
There's also the matter of the standing (straight-legged) elephant and walking elephant; I prefer the latter. I think Forum might have one...
It's certainly an excellent podcast; so detailed. The History of Rome, which I'm still sampling, is pretty decent, but isn't quite the deep dive...
By the way, I listened to the History of Byzantium podcast episode about Leo's rule during the 720s today.
That's great to hear the good news! Let's hope for more good tidings!
That's a nice patina. Since the larger module XXX/NNN issues came later, I guess the tiny module ones came earlier. Mine's the smallest follis...
Thanks! I'll go look. I'm low on flips. Maybe they can also take care of that.
I picked up a fairly attractive (for type) Leo III 40 nummi. It was from a British dealer, the first time I had ordered from them. Both coins...
This is a wonderful idea! I love it! Initially, I misread the title as hideous tetradrachm. Now I have an image of Paul Lynde stuck in my head....
Thanks. I do have one or two full size tripods. I'll have to look in the owner's manual, but i think there's a timer. In fact, I bought a third...
Where does one get it? Is Wizard a person or a website?
Thanks for the tips!
Yeah, I guess I'd have to hire someone to build a box. I guess that would be much less daunting than my Technics SP 10 mkii turntable project....
Neat - a bit better! In real life, the blue is much less pronounced on the coin in hand. One can vaguely see it in front of Hadrian's face and...
Very nice MM. I have a pretty nice MM siliqua, from an early purchase in '95. When my coin photography improves, I can photograph it.
Yes, your photo is much better than mine. I've experimented with and without flash, and about every variable I could think of. The dslr shots...
Since it's not a macro lens, I had to hold the lens fairly far away. And when I would get close, the camera would cast a shadow on the item. At...
Thanks for the encouragement. Your pics are great! :joyful:
