Wow, glad I checked back on this thread. :-) Very nice specimens Panzerman. John
Sweet RRD! I'd rather have the denarius anyway. John
That is a really nice coin, I don't care how it smells! :-) John
Was the coin itself re-toned or more toned, or is that all photo difference? The abrasion on the cheek is a turn off, but I doubt I would throw...
I see some fourees offered for sale for $500+ (for nice ones with most of the silver intact) which I would be afraid to pay. Most of the ones I...
I think it cost me a net $20 in the group it was in... I love Fourees because I feel there must be an interesting story behind them.

OK, if you are going to like my Punic horses post I have to drop my last ones: [ATTACH] And my all time favorite (so far). Still working on...
I love Punic coins, this could be my favorite ancient series. I need to free this one from its plastic prison and get a better picture: [ATTACH]...
YOC's chicken coin made me literally laugh out loud. :-)
While I agree that this hobby requires more resources than most people younger than college age typically have I think it is important to plant...
Those are just amazing Steve! I am in awe of the second to last one. The pattern is so perfect and the design with the horse raising his leg has...
I feel like I have finally started to be able to create the images of my coins I have always wanted. In the 1980s I used a black and white copy...
I have been sitting here all evening combining my obverse and reverse photos into a single side by side photo. Not sure why I never thought of...
