Welp. I'm sensing a consensus. Looks like my croc will stay dirty. He probably likes it better that way anyway. Here's the obverse. I'm thrilled...
[ATTACH] Actually, I want to know how I should clean my crocodile. I finally got one of those COL NEM coins and am very pleased with the...
Man. Maximianus needs to lay off the fried cheesesticks. What is that neck measurement? About a 32? How does he even button his dress shirts?
And I’m sorry to hijack this thread. The OP coin is beautiful, and I see no reason to doubt its authenticity. I think I was making the connection...
Well, in fairness, the seller does have a “make an offer” option. But since many of these coins are being sold to help someone in need, it feels a...
If you want to see some LRB's with breathtakingly smooth fields and sharp dies, check out some of the "x6" collection still selling on eBay. The...

You’re right, the phrase reads, “Jesus Christ, King of Kings,” but working out the grammar of the last two words is a bit problematic. Hopefully...
Nice coin and nice presentation. But allow those Gallic barbarians into the Senate when just a few generations earlier they were fighting against...
[ATTACH] I'm glad you're enjoying that coin @old49er. It's a nice example. In mine, God seems to be reaching out to the late Emperor using a snow...
That’s a nice big flan on that Arcadius.
Well, I only know the story from what the text says. But I read it as $800 for that tablet.
Welp. Looks like my Gilgamesh PowerPoint just got a new slide. Those poor students.
Sorry. I have some schoolboy Latin. And my Old English is pretty good. But I'm no help with the Sumerian/Akkadian. Maybe a large research...
