They can blame Covid, but most have been fiscally mismanaged for decades. Remember their neighbor Zimbabwe? "Covid" is a politically expedient...
Sorry, the time-frame of these were before Diocletians reforms. Probus is a very famous emperor to strike a great many of these. They are actually...
It was about 5 percent silver, 95 percent copper. They struck up looking like nearly pure silver coins. My friend said it was a few weeks total...
A friend of mine is a medieval coiner for fun, and he said he was able to reproduce late Roman silver wash coins by roughly reproducing what we...
I think most of us, being collectors, have much more "non-buyers remorse" than buyers remorse. Money is just money, but coins are more memorable....
