So, I think this might be the root of my confusion. I thought the cistophorus featured a basket of snakes (the cista, in some form or another)....
I've seen the term used many times, and it seems there is some disagreement on what they are. I can't figure out a commonality between all the...
There are no buffalo (native) in North America: https://nationalzoo.si.edu/animals/news/its-bison-not-buffalo-and-other-american-bison-facts
If that thing didn't CAC, I don't know what would. That's gorgeous. Not being familiar with early quarters.... what's going on with the...
Ooh, this one's a great example. There are several things in its advantage: 1. The toning is on the obverse. 2. It has a clear, crisp, and well...
I appreciate your thoughtful discussion of the topic. I suspect it comes down to "we can prove that these were fakes, or we can prove these were...

Great writeup! It must have gotten confusing having a bunch of towns with the same name!
I think we're starting with Morgans because they are the most common, and most commonly advertised as so-called "monsters," but I believe that the...
I think more important than the actual resolution is the size. The resolution becomes important if you are printing it, but most monitors are...
I agree with a 3. What it has is nice, it just doesn't have much. And @ddddd , I've got one after this.
Wow, really? I'm guessing something isn't coming across well in your pictures, because that doesn't look 66 to me from those pics.
First book came out years ago, so it would seem like the second would be out sometime soon. I didn't buy the first volume, because flowing hair...
In England they call it a torch, if that helps.
Probably 53 on the first, 55 on the second. But I vastly prefer the first one. Such great color and eye appeal! Wow.
Separate names with a comma.
