I would say Doug IS very much involved with coins though sir. He devotes a lot of time here educating the masses on CT. I for one believe he has...
I don't disagree with Doug's excellent advice. However, I simply refuse to sell. Maybe I have been lucky in life I have not had to contemplate...

Nice one. I have been wanting one of these for a while also. You are lucky I didn't see it. :)
Yeah, anepigraphic bronzes are tough to come by. I also have bought others from this seller, and expect it will look better in hand. The Urbs Roma...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here is a group I got recently. However, the Romulus and Remus coin was the LEAST desired of this group. Anyone want to guess...
