A beautiful display and collection! Have you sought out which Tiberius type you're after?
Beautiful coins! It's interesting to see the differences in engraving execution between the aureus and denarius.
Incidentally, the matching aureus of this type is up for sale at NAC, with a hefty price tag:...
I was beaten on my main lot. Alas...
Good luck everyone, and please check in whenever you can (but 4to2centBC is correct in that you should conserve power in your devices as much as...
I'm glad that you're safe at least - and with connectivity still! Hopefully it doesn't worsen too significantly.
I agree - this is one of my favorite types and has been on my wantlist for ages. I'm still waiting for the "right" coin: yours is superb.

Fabulous set and a great write-up. I personally prefer marble plain, without color, although I don't know if that's because of true preference or...

Great write-up and a beautiful pair of coins! I agree with your portrait aureus being the most aesthetic. Although, I'd be surprised if there...
That's horrible, and even worse that it's passed through Hirsch and Peus in prior years. Auction houses should just refuse to sell coins this...

I use the same slabs as @IdesOfMarch01 and have had great success with them. I have no fear of cabinet friction when pulling my coins out to view...
