A different question: usually, the patina I see on silver coins is black. On my new coin, what is the brown coloration in the recesses of both...
I do too, even though I have only two. Do you have any you'd like to show?
Amazing group! My favorite is the Julius Caesar, but I think the three gold aurei are also wonderful, as is the tetradrachm from Syracuse. And,...
Thank you!
I still feel sad every time I think about this coin, which was lost or stolen in the mail ten months ago on the way to New York from Belgium. It...
Thank you so much! So it appears that according to Hoover, the distinction between HGC Nos. 1457 and 1458 -- and, in turn, the distinction between...

One of the reasons I'm glad we have a separate forum is so that people are less likely to inject their politics into it. It's so very predictable...
Both great deals. They may not be rare, but I don't see them that often, especially at that price level. My "last" denarii are these two...
I especially love the Double-Owl and Double-Horse!
I would love to have one like yours, @Bing!
These are all superb. I can't possibly pick a favorite, or come up with appropriate superlatives. (Although that Galba portrait, and the portrait...
I like all of them, but especially the Owl and the hemidrachm from Lycia.
A spectacular group! I voted for no. 1, but wish I could also vote for 10, 9, 4, and 3. I am envious.
