Are some people on the U.S. Coins forum really so bored that they have nothing to do but come here for the specific purpose of insulting people,...
@Steelers72, I have the same type that you do. Not a great reverse, but I like the obverse portrait: Tiberius AR Denarius, AD 18-35, Lugdunum...
Hogs?
Me too. So I reported it. This only seems to happen when people come here from outside the ancients forum. Never to talk about ancient coins,...
We should be thankful, I suppose, that the admins didn't impose decimation upon us, as practiced in the legions!
I said I had a sour taste in my mouth, not that I was thinking of leaving! So no need to ask me to stay, as much as I appreciate the sentiment.
I have a very sour taste in my mouth as well about what happened last night. This forum has been a welcome escape for me from politics, and from...
@TIF , somebody NOT from the ancients forum came here and posted an EXTREMELY political comment -- which had nothing to do with the thread in...
Thanks so much, @Roman Collector. I had no idea about any of this. Here is my one Venus Caelestis coin: Julia Soaemias (mother of Elagabalus)....

And a few later coins from "Cyzicus": Aurelian, silvered AE Antoninianus, 274-75 AD, Cyzicus Mint. Obv. Radiate cuirassed bust right, IMP C...
My smallest coin isn't that small -- 10 mm. -- compared to others I've seen posted here. But it certainly looks small to me! Mysia, Kyzikos, AR...
I think one's reason for selling makes a big difference. If I sell this coin, it will be because I want to. I sold the coins I mentioned above...
As I've explained before, I keep my ancient and other coins in trays, a few of which I leave out so that I can see the coins whenever I want to. I...
Thanks. But the asterisk refers to a footnote stating that the reference is to the variety with the obverse legend DIVA AVG FAVSTINA (RIC III...
I miss all the coins I sold about five years ago, as mentioned above, and still think about them on occasion. Sometimes I can't really believe I...
@curtislclay, from looking at some of the articles on his website, it seems that his name is Paul Dinsdale. See...
Separate names with a comma.
