Oops. I see my "barbarian and hut" display features some duplicates. I do have a Constans mint set; I need to rephotograph them and rearrange....
I second @Pellinore's comment. How can an LRB collector really get that jazzed about the GLORIA EXERCITUS coins? By taking up a challenge like...
You may be thinking of a Union college or seminary in New York. I'm in Jackson, Tennessee. The only think that originated here was Carl Perkins...

CALIGULA AE AS VESTA, ex Numismatica Tintinna I have just placed this CALIGULA VESTA on eBay with a low starting bid. Someone will likely get a...
It breaks my heart to "like" Valentinian's post, but alas, as in most things, Valentinian is right.
A perfectly round flan with nothing on the reverse, and no meaningful indication that there ever was anything on the reverse, makes me wonder if...
[ATTACH] I thought I’d pile on this old thread here. In recent weeks I’ve completed a mini-set of these Constantine SOL INVICTUS coins from each...
