Of course glass flows. Look at any old window and you will see that. However, think how thsee were buried. They were supported in all directions,...
Dang different time zones, so THCoins beat me to it. This is fairly well centered but worn.
Beautiful piece. I was able to get a glass goblet a couple of months ago at my coin club. Mine you could tell spent a couple of thousand years...
I hear you Doug on allocating out costs on group lots. I just recently got a Byzantine lot from Germany. One of the 15, (most were Syracuse...
...and your personal satisfaction is much, much, more than you ever paid. :) Personally, I simply do not care. My heirs will worry about it. Its...

I will take any of those pesky 1964 coins off your hands. ;)
I posted my Trajan piece here I believe, and maybe one or two Domitian's. I just don't have pics of most of them. Btw, I reread my post and it...
