What an amazing (wife) piece of craftsmanship! Hats-off to you, sir. As for the idea of a catalogue, fair warning; I do something like what I...
I like cherrypicking for Late LRBCs, & I'm a bit of a sucker for Valentinian III. If you're not overly worried about grade then there's all kinds...
Done in antiquity? Makes a coin cheaper without messing it up to where I care too too much. Making jewelry in modern time out of ancient coins?...
I read about this this morning. Freaking terrible. I've bought coins from Roma. Just disappointed really. I feel privelaged to have such easy...

P.S. Silica gell packs
Do as you wish, they are your coins, but none of those are good ideas (in general). Non-AR/AU coins (AE?) are protected by their patina. Coating...
Beautiful coin. Just wonderful. Congrats! Seems like a good place to post this coin I got a while back of the Re type. It seems to be a fouree...
That's nice! Rather jealous
