Congrats on your ancient-a-versary! I'll post my Colosseum sestertius as my favorite coin: [IMG] And Bugs Bunny is my favorite cartoon...
Great coin! What did NGC rate it before you released it from its tomb?
Keeping with the archaic theme of the above tetradrachm, here's a drachm from Naxos: [IMG] Naxos. Circa 530 -510 BC. Drachm (Silver, 5.57 g 4),...
I quite like the types posted by TIF and IdesOfMarch01, and both coins (trite/stater) are on my wantlist. I also like the simplicity of the...
I'm not intending to steal any of John Anthony's thunder with this thread but I think it would be interesting to post your favorite coins by...
I didn't even know GC had ancients - that's a heck of a coin! If you ever need a doorstop, you know where to go!
I just tried and can post as well as read/send PMs. I'd be shocked if they banned you - maybe try logging out/back in and refreshing the page to...

I did consider this piece but did some homework on the debate between whether or not it is really a map and the consensus seems to be that it is...
These threads show the progression of my photography abilities - it's nice to look back and see that I've (hopefully) improved!! [IMG]
You're showing off... it's going to be -24ºF tomorrow and 25mph winds here. And yet I choose to live in the Midwest :)
This year has been very busy for me on the buying side, adding 22 coins. I was even busier on the selling side, albeit primarily my US coins, for...
Stylistically, there are many coins which just don't "do it" for me, even though many are some of the best known ancient coin designs. This will...
I love the Akragas eagles as well but unfortunately the dekadrachm is out of my reach. However, I did recently pick up this tiny obol (weighing in...
Happy Saturnalia to everyone! http://www.wikihow.com/Celebrate-Saturnalia...
