Yours is nicer than mine Steve. For mine i had to look for one with a full neck and Aretas spelled out, since that was important to me. I would...
Lol. Be careful, I saw a seller of coins on Ebay and it showed the LRB were blue, but after looking at his other auctions his silver coins were...
Here is an article I like. I am not saying I completely agree with it, but I believe its pretty fair, not sensationalistic, and talks about many...
I can see that. I still buy some modern stuff, like 19th century thai and the like. So, I can see what you are saying. I was just thinking...
Nice analysis. I have to ask a question: after all of this fun in ancients and reading you have been having lately, how much are you still...
Eh, its an expense just like coins. Actually, the books are usually rarer than the coins, and appreciate better. Hasn't been true though the last...

Hmm, I don't have a definitive book on Carthiginian, but they are in BMC Greek, and other "Greek" books. Also, I believe SNG Copenhagen has a...
Whew, I would never agree to most of that. My main points would be: 1. Who CARES as to where any PM comes from. Its a fungible good, so if...
It almost never is. These "tourist fakes" are nearly all made from pot metal.
Very nice coin Derick. I could see why you appreciate it so much. For "Grail" coins for me, there are two I dream about. One is a US coin, a...
