No other Anonymous Quadrans out there? Here's another one: [ATTACH] Ox: Petasus (Mercury's winged cap) Rx: Winged caduceus; S C across field
I recently sold the coin. Unfortunately you can't keep everything.

Don't buy a lot of gold issues but if you wanted this lady there's not a lot of choices as the bronze issues are nearly impossible to find....

Mat: Whoever took that bad Galba/Eirene Tet photo needs to buy a new camera and learn how to use it.
If anyone hasn't had the chance to meet and talk with these folks at a coin show you're missing out. They are all very knowledgeable and affable,...
Here's an interesting piece:[ATTACH] Ox: M AVR ANTON CAES PONTIF Rx: DESTINATO IMPERAT; Lituus, Apex, Bucranium and Simpulum The reverse...

If she uses it to dig a hole in the back yard I'd start running. Fast.

Here’s a selection of different Leo lion type coins from my collection. I’m not sure why but the lion crouching left variety is always a...
