As an update, here is another Ustrushana type I just bought. Elephant to the left, and the same tamgha as on the first coin. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
I do not see dealer representation as only being for high end coins at all. Now, bidding on a high end item like a sestertius and not having a...
Yes, they physically cut some coins to make effectively half coins. Later they simply cast them as half coins, casting only the outer rings.
I understand sir how most advertised who was in charge at the time. However, don't you see the trend that the longer a dynasty is in power, the...
One thing that I find extremely interesting in Chinese numismatics is how you can tell, simply by weight and size, when in a reign a coin was...
