Congratulations on your pickup! Even the 'budget' issues of that issue are pricey. Here's my 'budget' portrait Antony. Even though the coin's...

My guess is that making a virtual tray would be similar to how I combine my mediocre attempts at coin photography; create a giant canvas, and then...
IIRC, I have a pretty nice Constantinople follis (unphotographed) from A.B. It's probably not 21, though. I really like the enigmatic bucket head...
I don't have anything which qualifies for the most recent challenge... Is there any way to jump to the last post when checking a thread? I keep...
Were I deep-pocketed, I'd heavily collect Sestertii of the earlier 12 Caesars (up to Galba), as those are generally huge. I remember looking at a...

One could get a halfway decent Nero as or dupondius, or a Hellenistic AR Tetradrachm in fine. Or five pretty nice Sassanian Persian silver...
That stinks. Can't they just package it as a small package? Or are small non-coin packages taxed? Dumb rules are rife to be broken. Because of...
