Come to think of it, I haven't either. I don't remember any instruments of war save for swords, bows, arrows, horses, and I think slings.
Eh, I saw much worst in the Gulf War. I am kind of suspicious of these being found like that. I won't go into gory details why.
I was doing really well, then dropped $1300 on an auction a couple of weeks ago. I have one coin I am looking at right now worst than that, but I...
Oh my gosh, all of the time. Heck, I always wanted a large Iran coin with the lion and sword. A few months ago I was looking through a box and...
Maybe the reason I am old fashioned and walk in to pay. I used pay at the pump once in 5 years, and immediately the card was compromised. One...

There is no deal breaker on any coin per se. I bet tons of people would buy a G, corroded, offcenter lifetime JC. We have to remember these things...
Dude, we have all been stuck with duds. If you get upset with this, you will have a rough time in this hobby. Do the best you can, hold sellers...
Yeah, I learned long ago never to hang your hat on "crud' as an authenticator. Many different sellers can apply "crud" effectively. Honestly, look...
It's a good read. I stumbled across my copy 8 years ago at a book swap meet. Hard to put down.
Yeah, I passed the "I don't really have more room to store it" stage a while ago. My dream would be silver spikes but PT and gold stay they same,...
You will be looking for Judea bronzes and Shekels of Tyre, possibly a denarius of Augustus or Tiberius. One denarii of Tiberius is dubbed the...
