Always frustrating when one side is so great and the other isn't. Decisions!
That's a bear, all right!
I don't think zurqieh sells fakes -- he's on VCoins, too. Just don't buy any "desert patina" coins from him expecting the patina to be...
I love your Hosidius. You can really see how deeply embedded the spear is in the boar's back. And the hound looks like its head is buried in the...
I'm shocked. Shocked! I thought you had just about every Roman Republican coin! In fact, I could have sworn you once posted a Sulpicius Galba....
I want to apologize for responding so harshly. It was a knee-jerk reaction, and I know that you had no intention of derailing the thread. I...
Thank you!
I used to have one of those, but it was one of the many silver crowns I sold. I remember buying from Karl Stephens back in the 1980s. I still...

Apart from everything else, and emphasizing that I have no expertise whatsoever on objects like this, it looks too new. It simply doesn't look to...
I didn't think I'd sold my one British Trade Dollar, and found it in one of my British coin trays. It's from 1930: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here's...
Of course you're right. By the way, I was able to buy perfectly decent-looking asses of both Caligula and Claudius -- I spent a little more than...
A very recent experience with CGB Numismatics in Paris: I purchased a coin from them on Sunday, through MA-Shops. They shipped the package to me...
Congratulations to @Ryro on your birthday, and to @Herodotus (and your wife!) on your baby boy. Wonderful! Medusa approves. [ATTACH] @Ryro,...
When I hear "retired boxer," my thoughts go to the bronze Hellenistic "Boxer at Rest" sculpture in Rome, which I vividly remember from my trip...
Congratulations! I don't see myself ever completing that set, because I can't imagine spending enough money on only two coins to buy the Julius...
And for how many years have you been doing this? 500-800 coins per year add up pretty quickly!
