WHat I hate is auctions open up and for a while you are dreaming of all of the coins you can purchase. THEN, the last couple of days they just go...
I thought scarabs were designed to be wrapped inside of mummies. They were carved in the form of beetles to ensure the dead would be clean. I...

I am not sure about "first Kushan". Was this the first coin struck after the Kushan tribe took over? Remember that is was collectively the Yueh...
Very nice countermarks on that one Doug. I am always torn about what to worry about more, the host oin or the countermarks.
I don't like bailouts either. I believe the moral hazard risk is too high, and I have been against every bailout the US has ever made. However, I...

Look at it this way. If any ancient coin has a chance to be a pharoanic coin, its this one. There still are arguments to be made about its origin,...
