Is there a way to search just for threads you've started, as opposed to ones in which you left comments?
In Europe, are teeth considered part of one's body for purposes of medical treatment, and therefore covered by public health services? Here, even...
I, for one, find it fascinating! And what's wrong with being a nerd? I don't remember the term being used when I was young, but if it had been, I...
So that is Annona?
Except that this seller is apparently known for, and has a history of, selling fake coins. It's not a "first offense."
@curtislclay, looking at Dinsdale again (with footnotes and photos) more closely than I did before, it really doesn't seem that his two different...
It's weird when the attributes of a reverse image directly contradict the identification signified by the legend. I think most would go with the...
You are not ethically obligated to bear the cost of the dealer's fraud, in order to protect his future customers. If you were a billionaire, it...

Here's one, which I posted elsewhere earlier today: Probus, silvered billon Antoninianus, 278-280 AD, Rome Mint [4th Emission, 2nd Officina]....
Thank you, @curtislclay. The sale of the CGB sestertius is good timing. Now I know that the variant with stars exists for RIC 1674 (stephane) as...
But the 8th Century BCE bronze example I posted clearly has his in the front. And maybe in the back too, for all I know.
I very much doubt that $275 was ever a real asking price. It's just there to make buyers think they're getting a great deal.
Some questions: Has any of you ever been to the Carlos Museum at Emory? Is it well-known in the area, and does it have a good reputation? Anyway,...
Not sure if this one is winged. Maybe not. Roman Republic, Q. Cassius Longinus, AR Denarius, 55 BCE [Crawford] or 53 BCE [Harlan], Rome Mint....
Separate names with a comma.
