It was a nice service, and I took a day afterward to hang in my best friend's Asheville, NC coin shop (picked up some nice goodies, both for my...
Here's the Domitian/Minerva I had in my old Twelve Caesars collection. It was very bright and sharp. I thought it deserved XF, but NGC had...

We need to do a drawing and get the first lot of these shipped off, so we can move on to the next one. Bear with me- I'm just back in from off...

OK, since we're continuing with multiple portraits... Nabatean Kingdom:bronze Æ15 of Aretas IV & Shuqailat; twin busts/crossed cornucopias,...
