True if it is cloudy or if you are not in a area of totality, like chrsmat71. (There is a great difference between what you'll see during 97%...
I'm not an expert, but of the ones I've seen, I'd say there were two different denominations, with the coins with Alexander spelled out on the...
Okay, so now, with the following question, I will flaunt my ignorance: Why all the horses? Was Carthage known for its horse breeding?
Over many years of cleaning uncleaned coins I had developed a large backlog of coins that I could ID to emperor and often type and mint, etc., but...
The flow lines around the nose suggest that the original coin was struck. Are you concerned about what appear to be casting bubbles on the cheek...

I, too, recommend both dealers.
Thanks, Alegandron. One more thought about eBay: Bid on auctions (but keep your bids under $15, and consider the shipping costs in your bid). This...
Please let us know if you hear from the seller. Thanks. And if you don't, please post the seller's name.
Be careful on VCoins. Most of the dealers there are reputable, knowledgeable and forthright--several are members of this forum--but a very small...
Beautiful.
