Wow nice! I like the bug xD Are those ones bronze too?
Technically “Rome” goes all the way back to ~700 BC. I’m actually reading a book about the history of Rome called (Ab Urbe Condita) by Titus...
It’s funny you mention a movie. Believe it or not, my entire love of Roman history began after seeing the movie “Gladiator” with Russel Crowe....
What’s scary is Domitian wasn’t even the worst. Think of Commodus. Think of Caligula. Think of Nero. Commodus is the Emperor I’ve learned the...
Oh by the way: In the next year or so I plan on picking up 1 denarius from each of the “Five Good Emperors”. Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Marcus...
Wow! You actually are focusing on one specific patrician family? That’s incredible! Rarely do people have the time, patience, resources and...
Amazing stuff! I didn’t say I didn’t want to see the cowrie stuff. Only that it doesn’t count. xD It’s cool though for sure! I find the stater...
Is it silver or copper? It’s kind of hard to tell because of how dark it is. If I could read the writing I could date it using my books.
Nice! How old is it?

I don’t think they knew it was harmful back then. I mean how would they benefit? I think they were just unaware or at worst they didn’t bother...
Oh btw here is my $10 silver certificate :D It’s the only bank note I own that’s graded and it’s cool because it’s $10 just like yours. I wonder...
What do you think about the proofs? I actually love the way a proof ASE looks. They are beautiful! I have a 1988, 1990 and a V75 proof silver...
Oh wow that’s a better price than I expected. I was thinking of maybe the best gold certificate I could get for $750 or so?
Wait $65 for 69s and $90 for 70s?? Are you talking about Silver Eagles? I see shops selling the MS69s for $50 and the 70s for $65. [ATTACH]
That’s a beautiful note! Can you give me a kind of price range? Or maybe what you paid for the note you posted? I’m not sure how much I want...
Ahh gotchya those are cool too! I don’t even think about price when I buy silver. I don’t plan on selling it for decades. I think demand for...
I’ve really wanted a gold certificate for a long time and I was wondering if maybe there was a cheaper (than the older stuff) more common gold...
I just gotta wash my hands xD.
