I have a oak (?) framed antoninianii of Gordian III and Tetricus I in my cubicle at work. It was one of those expensive World Wide Treasure...
Thank you all for your comments on my (probably) diseased coin. I was too flippant with my "let it rot" comment and for that I am sorry. I do...
I sort of bought this by accident - thought I could throw it in for free shipping along with something else, then I got outbid on the something...
My favorite "coin cover" books are from the old black cover Penguin Classics - below are a few (I think there are more - including a Longinius...
Wonderful coins everybody. A couple favorites - Julia Domna, Mamiminus Daia and Caracalla as a child. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Nice upgrade with a die match to boot.
This is my first one of the type - I was really happy with it once I got it in hand. Lots of kids on these - Faustina really has her hands full...
Thank you, Roman Collector. That clears up a lot of "Google search confusion" I was experiencing. I appreciate it.

Thank you for the tip - I've never heard of such a thing.
I have a batch of 3 Byzantine cup coins that have been on my "to do" list for years. I rather like them, I just need to put some time into them....
Thank you all for your advice - I knew I could count on you. I like TIF's "sweating bullets" account - sorry that it happened, but it is...
I remember that Bass-o-Matic sketch when it first aired c. 1975. It was absolutely the funniest, weirdest thing I'd ever seen on TV. I was 11 or...
The problem is me and tools often equals a disaster. Which is to say I am not handy at all. I might take it to a jeweler, if I can do it on the...
Thanks, TIF. I think that will be my approach - manual tools. I ruined 2 Canadian silver dimes with the old stove method (small loss). I do...
Starting out 2018 bottom-feeding on eBay. Pretty happy with this one, a dupondius of Lucius Verus, Mars reverse (I'm still trying to attribute it...
