Supposedly one can't grade from a photo & of course the usual disclaimer that I really collect Roman bronzes. Nevertheless willing to take "a...
Thanks. CNG has a big auction filled with hundreds of low-value Muslem gold coins struck in the 7th to 11 th centuries AD. These are uniformly of...
I presume you mean the Odoacer half-siliqua? Ed sold me the Julius Nepos tremissis as good VF.
Some people like Greco-Roman, or as it's now called, Byzantine history. One point adding weight to your view is that soon after the fall of the...
Beautiful half-siliqua of Odoacer. I should try to look for one. There has in recent time, perhaps the past 5 or 10 years, been a lot of...

Finally I found it: my oldest shilling. Originally in my lower-end box then moved to the sd box for some reason. Eliz-I, hammered shilling,...
Very pretty 1915 half. Looks high grade unc from the picture. Isn't this type of item normally slabbed? Of course if it's in a 1st gen holder &...
