Thank you, Conder! That is the kind of information I was looking for. I can see how months of contact with 'saltwater plus' may affect the...
Great, I have just subscribed to Netflix. Thanks for the news!
I spent a little time trying to find out more about the reason for the oft-cited comment that Classic Heads often come dark and corroded. Sources...
I have just realised that I posted this in the World Coin. How can I get a Mod to put it where it belongs? namely Ancient Coins?
When I first started collecting Roman coins, around 1986 or so, I remember being passionate about Bronzes of Vitellius - why were they so scarce,...
Shame on me! of course... My goal is to one day complete a die variety set of Classic Heads 1808-1809. A long way to go, yet.

Michael, we'll make an ancient coin lover out of you, yet:). I may know a little about history, but I don't know how to use my own mobile phone...
Roman Collector, thank you very much for your kind help!
I thought you already had a Titus Judaea Capta as, David? but maybe I am getting it confusing with someone else. At any rate, congratulations on...
Finally, a coin show in my area! And I was able to meet two C.T friends (more on that later), and a couple of dealer acquaintances of mine with...
That is a very rare coin, and I would certainly welcome it into my collection of Latin American early republican coinage. I focus primarily on...
Shipping costs is one of the reasons why I almost entirely stopped buying from Heritage for shipment to Europe. H.A now use Fed Ex for shipping,...
