I would suggest Cayon and Cayon if you wish to pursue Spanish coins, and other titles if you wish to pursue new world versions. Actually, the KM...
I agree with coinguy-matthew. When it comes to a more normally available coin or note, I try to look at price/quality levels and buy where I...
Well, um, archeologist is pretty much a dirty word to ancient collectors nowadays. Its sad, as our hobby used to work closely with them, but they...
Well sir, you can just go ape [blank] nuts in ancients then. Seriously, KNOWLEDGE is all that is required to find coins that maybe 4 exist in the...
Not to be unkind sir, but if you cannot see: 1. How the coin is polished 2. How there is non-typical scratching exactly where someone would...
Sorry, I know this is OT, but I got a chuckle reading through this thread and how "terrible" shape these coins are in. I was going through some of...

The bashlik coin, (upper left first pick, old attribution Mithradates I), I see a similar one on Vcoins right now for $345. Myself, I would be ok...
