I bet you were happy with the price! Could've easily been double that. Very nice!
Keeping with the theme of less-than-perfect-and-therefore-relatively-affordable JC coins, here is my only example - the classic elephant denarius....
Thank you so much! I will edit accordingly. :cool:
I like coins of Constantine. Incidentally this would be classified as late Roman, not Byzantine. Do you have many ancient coins?
Continuing my collection of Constantine family portraits, here is one I got in today: [IMG] I am particularly happy with this one for a couple...
This sort of thing makes me tired. Putting aside the question as to whether or not the coins were illegally obtained (and my bet is that they were...

Absolutely! That's a great site which I regularly frequent. I believe it's run by @Victor_Clark if I'm not mistaken?
Lately, I've been taking an interest in the life and times of Constantine I - an individual, and period of history, that has had a tremendous,...
