Very nice coin Ardatirion! I never would have been able to attribute it. Coins of Flavius Hanninalianus are indeed rare. I have just found out...
Drusus, what you are saying there is really bad news, and quite serious. I have bought many of my ancients through CNG precisely because i was...
Well, IMHO two coins in that category would be the 1844 dime, or the 1909 s-vdb cent. Both are avidly sought coins, but are not rare, and...
