I know. It was already split into two volumes by the time I last bought it in 2015, and I already bought only the pre-decimal volume back then....
My only interest would be in the pre-decimal volume, and I wonder how much that changes every year except for updating prices. Which was never my...
My only MARTI PROPVGNATORI coin was issued for Hostilian Caesar. And he indeed looks quite bellicose! Hostilian Caesar (son of Trajan Decius),...
I used to buy these at least every other year. The oldest one I have is the 1986 edition (when it was still known as the Seaby guide), and the...
[ATTACH] Next: Ares (not Mars) -- note his presence behind Athena.
@jamesicus, do you remember the source of the 1644 date? I was so taken with your coin weight that I did Google and VCoins searches for other...
One more denarius, purchased close to 15 years ago (before I actively collected ancient coins), that I didn't post before because I hadn't merged...
Henrietta Maria was the daughter of the King of France (and hence a Catholic, not popular in England), so their marriage in 1625 was a reflection...
All I know about such things is from reading various novels and a few articles, but it's my understanding that beheading was a privilege of...
Great write-up. I would love a coin with Trajan's column, but I have yet to see a nice one that I can afford. Most of my Trajans, for some...

That's one fierce griffin head on the bottom coin! Interesting that the form is already established so early, and stays pretty much the same up to...
I once had several Charles I coins and medals, but sold them all except for this one small medalet: England 1625, Marriage of Charles I to...
If you mean me, that wouldn't help if they bring it to the wrong building! Anyway, we don't have a doorman, and the superintendent isn't usually...
Wow, thank you so much! It never occurred to me that someone here might be able to translate this scarab.
I still ask dealers to use DHL (or Fedex or UPS Express) when I can. The prospect of getting packages from the UK or the Continent in less than 48...
@Only a Poor Old Man, please understand that loss of property was the least of it. Coincidentally, today happens to be Holocaust Memorial Day,...
Yes, a 10% error rate (in my case) is way too high. I was being sarcastic! I could accept 1%.
DHL drivers twice delivered packages for me to the wrong apartment building near mine, even though the number was clearly visible on the package,...
I like the contrasting colors too! Do you think that results from partial cleaning, or is it "natural"?
Separate names with a comma.
