I’ve seen this happen a lot in various threads. Our own Victor Clark and Ken Dorney often get positive shouts out in this regard.
If they're fetching 1000 pounds, me too! ;)
That’s a really lovely portrait. I wish I had more hoard coins. Knowing a little bit about the burial context and a lot about the time really...
No; I wasn’t interested in the coin. Perhaps the recent posts on overlooked LRB rarities made me think maybe there was something special about...
Oh, I’m still quite positive about VCoins. I think strange pricing like this is the exception that proves the rule. However, I do agree that when...
Gave $35 for this one in 2007. I think I’ve spent 3x as much for a decent cologne. [ATTACH]
This coin is currently on VCoins. When it first appeared, I assumed the price was a “placeholder.” But it’s been up for over 24 hours now. Is the...
The OP coin is remarkable. @Valentinian, here's another Constantine VLPP with a cross on the column. And yes, from Ticinum. [ATTACH]

Awesome. Are those on site, or are they in the Archeological Museum in Naples?
I just received this coin that I bought on eBay a few weeks ago. I got it because of what appears to be a Latin cross control mark on the SOLI...
I think it’s fair to say that Clio and I will never cross paths—or bids—in an auction. I’ve often thought about how I would collect if I were...
That's pretty darn good for a "budget" Caligula. I'd say it's more "mid-range." Mine is truly a budget Caligula, purchased for about $110 last...
I just got this in a batch of uncleaneds. Is it worth anything? [ATTACH] Ha ha. The Arras Medallion featuring Constantius Chlorus . Picture...
If you come to Nashville you will want to check out the Athena Parthenos in Nashville's full scale replica of the Parthenon. At 40' tall, she's...
For Tennesseans such as myself and @Victor_Clark, and folks in the U.S. close by, the Frist Center is hosting an exhibit on ancient Rome, with...
Separate names with a comma.
