Good for you. A word of advice. Try not to sell anything you may regret in the future. Too many stories about that kind of thing.
Thanks to all. I did pass over it when I first saw it, but I went back to it. I agree and that is why I posted this thread. I know there are...
Just curious, where is it recorded WC and medman. Also, I wonder what Octavian thought was interesting and beautiful.
I'm looking at buying this coin, but I need some independent verification that it is more likely real than fake. I looked on the fake reports,...
Are these your personal coins, or are they part of your inventory?
Yeah, how conservative of you. The lottery is a poor man's tax. My brother who just died a couple of weeks ago, lived on his social security,...
These have gotten expensive and I'm not sure why. They don't seem to be scarce on the market. Another good portrait though.

I've seen these before and would love some day to acquire one. It's hard to reconcile the older "obese" Nero with the young "normal stature"...
Now this one I like very much. The other two Byzantine coins you just posted are out of my area of interest. I said on another thread how I like...
I have often wondered if Romans collected Greek coins or did the Greeks collect their own and so forth.
Once again, a very nice reverse. One can even see the oars in the water. Too bad the legends are partially off flan.
Both nice coins for the era, but I really like the Leo VI.
Sorry 7C, I don't collect these and was only taking a guess. Chrismat might be on to something though.
I seriously doubt Levy's account is accurate, but it is probably based on myth known or believed at the time of the writing. On the other hand,...
It is amazing as you say. I will pay somewhat extra for a reverse that is "different" whether it is in pristine condition or not. As for coins...
It appears Islamic. Possibly Ottoman?
Doug, I have two of the coins you displayed in your last post, but now I need to find the others. They're all great with wonderful reverses like...
