I had my first experience with Ebay charging sales tax on a sell I made yesterday. They added 7% to the invoice on a ancient coin sold to Rhode...
Constantinople also has round flans. I can't tell if yours has pellets, but the weight and style indicate a North African mint. Here is one for...
Not as useless as a general business degree in the United States a.k.a. my first degree. Wish I could return it for a refund. At least a...
#1 is probably Antiochus III, but impossible to tell without a higher resolution image.
