I've heard that an often-mocked ancients dealer uses something like naval jelly for silver. Oh, those horrible orange earth patinas for the poor...
Well, yeah, but should I go to vcoins' management? I'm not quite sure what to do. No one's perfect, but the last two or three packages have been...
(applause) Well said. I agree completely. That's a pretty darn nice Philip. I'm also preparing a funeral for my poor Nero coin. That's the...
Yup! The sad thing is, many vcoins' listings (from varying dealers) are that egregious. That particular dealer generally isn't as wild as this...
[ATTACH] Nero (Caesar, 50-54). AR Denarius (19mm, 3.23g, 12h). Rome, AD 51. Bareheaded and draped young bust l. R/ Simpulum above tripod; on r.,...
I'm sorry to hear that. Yes, I was also unsure of the coin's toning from the picture. Mine is pretty close to the picture. I bought it for the...
I almost missed your question; I was about to mark the whole forum as read. I'd say yours is a lovely good VF. I do happen to have one, and...

Yes, it is lovely. Heck, I'm afraid to light the 50 year old A2 electric candles for more than an hour, and those are a standalone 3-candle unit....
I went back to the original post, which answered my question from a couple of posts ago. Where can one get one of those cute Merry Christmas...
It's an especially nice Antony denarius!
Sounds like Secret Santa did it up right!
I like the little silver bars! I might participate next year,although I'd probably throw in an ancient. I have to ship directly from the vcoins...
The Constans appears to be Sear RCV 18647 or 18648. I can't read the mintmark after SMAL... 18648 has a dot at the end. Alexandria, Egypt. I...
Sounds nice! My Secret Santa got me a Faustina, Jr. Sestertius and a silver siglos from the Persian Empire. I especially like the Merry...
May Santa bring you EID MAR denarii or 1804 Dollars!
