Maybe it has to do with stocks, but this is such a small market I don't think we will see the true bottom until the last of the doomsdayers and...
Yeah, it is. We are the "cool kids" in our own mind, but yeah, to everyone else we are like Star Trek nerds. I watch the Big Bang Theory and...
Wow. I thought having a 2 and 4 year old was expensive, (and wife).
Yeah, its sad to spend the price of a nice denarius just on dinner. Man, the ring could have bought me a nice gold Alexander! Is it sad when you...
Well, 3500 ancients do take a while, so I guess I was assuming he would pick up a wife who would put up with his collecting in the meantime. :)

A friend at my old coin club, (must be over a decade ago now), has a Mexican wife. Therefor he started collecting Mexican coins. He claimed to...
I agree with JWT, sounds reasonable to me. Then you will find a specialty, and 350 coins later wonder what happened. THEN, 3500 coins later you...
I have a ton of them, but to be honest not by date. Are there any scarce dates?
I look at it more in 4-5 dollar chunks. Moving from high 18's to 15 was a stage IMHO. Before that is was around 22-23. Humans with numbers are...
But it hasn't. The current drop is from the 18ish level down to around 15. You have to measure drops in stages. Each stage has additional buying...
My first concern would be overlapping dates. Most series had different start/stop dates, so decisions would need to be made about which coins were...
I guess I just don't know. Without strength in Asia buying I cannot see it moving strongly up. We might be near a bottom but I simply see sideways...
Well we know both methods were used. The "snow leopard" type was actually made both ways, some cast and others struck on cast flans. I can't tell...
I agree. Heck, I bought a few London mint examples a few months ago looking just like your coin OP. BTW, the reverse is upside down. ;)
I don't see any mintmarks on any of your coins. Are you checking for mintmarks on the reverse? The earlier pieces with a mintmark are most likely...
Wonderful to hear. Could you please post whenever its done? I would hate to miss it. I liked his first book so much I actually bought two copies. :)
Sweet coin, to say the least. If I were going to own a Greek gold, that would be it. I love Babylon mint Alexander's. THere just seems to be extra...
Good job identifying them Mat. I don't have that patience. Any I go into the "maybe in retirement I will have time" pile.
Search through CoinTalk and you will find posts on it. As a beginning, you can always use acetone and distilled water. Let the coin dry naturally...
