Great coin and pics! I especially like the reverse because it has no chop mark like mine. I keep this coin a box I use for my COB talks. I keep...
I saw another one of these recently and could not pass on the 25 GBP bid price. The coin is the one I have shown above, so no new post series for...
I am transitioning to coin trays. The empty flips and other stuff I store in a 3# coffee can (of course inflation has reduced the size to 34.5 oz,...
Interesting coin and write-up. There is much I do not know about the period. Roma changed her look a lot from about 140 BC to 385 AD. [ATTACH]...
Ken, Nice pieces and a great case of books! My wife knits and I have looked for ancient knitting needles, but have not seen anything advertised...

Great coin. It is just like: [MEDIA]
I will agree with the folks above about glued on Fs. My issue is the patina color and surface texture look too uniform to me. It looks like...
Great coin P-man! Well centered, good die and well struck. I think all of the curls on head and chin are a good detail. Minor comment - Sol was...
