What a generous reply from @lehmansterms! For my cataloguing, though, I’m now experiencing option paralysis. Victor’s elegant solution–just skip...
Welp. I'm beginning to rethink my rethinking; the AE1-4 system is beginning to make better sense as the preferred cataloguing approach. And since...
It's interesting that this Antioch mint goes with the theta in the exergue, while other "death workshops" prefer some combination of delta and...
No offense taken. And to be clear, I wasn’t saying that I’m not silly. I was just stating that I will not admit to it. ;-). And a bit more...
I will not admit to being silly. I will admit to being lazy. I think I'm wanting to dispense with trying to eyeball a coin and think, "Is that...
I’m recataloguing my collection and am searching for a consistent terminology for LRB’s. I think I’m going to dispense with the AE1, AE2, AE3, and...
One of my collecting goals is to fill in some missing "major" Emperors. I have no illusions of getting a coin per emperor. But I think I need at...
Those must be pretty special butterflies. By the way, I think I have a bunch of dead moths in my front porch light. I would be willing to shake...

That one is a lost cause, in my opinion.
Thanks for responding Warren. Those go on the wish list.
Here's something a little more on-topic. It's a great book. Alas, I wish I had the coin. Someone here probably does. 27 BC-AD 14. AR...
Not a book/coin pair, but perhaps this is an OK thread in which to ask @Valentinian for a book recommendation he made many threads back. I...
What is this list of Great Ancient Coins? I’m unfamiliar with this list. Where can I find it?
I saw some of those in the CT for sale section. Good selection and pretty good prices, from what I could tell. I’m not in the club yet. One day…...
Glad to hear the coin is not radioactive. I suppose I should know something about this, but could you comment on the “horn” over the forehead....
That's a nice portrait of Agrippa, Q. Seems to almost be scowling. Unusually expressive for this type.
Good advice indeed. Into the tray it goes. Aside from a clear rostral crown, this coin checked off all the boxes I wanted in the type: links in...
