I know it's been true since at least the late 1960s, when I was in my early teens and started buying old maps and prints from the dollar bins at...
That's a truly beautiful example, with the design and legends more complete than 90+% of the other examples I've seen. I can't figure out what's...
That's good to hear. The previous auctions were before my time here, and I didn't know about them. I actually will have a couple of coins...
An interesting old thread from before I joined Coin Talk, even though I'm pretty sure we've had some on the same subject since then. It never...
After seeing these wonderful examples of coins people think will be in their Top 10 lists, I can tell it's going to be a great year for a lot of...

That's an absolutely gorgeous example of the Mamilius Limetanus denarius. Wow.
Those portraits remind me a great deal of the Macrinus & Diadumenian portraits on the pentassarion from Marcianopolis, with the Hermes reverse,...
