1616 happens to be the year Shakespeare died. (His birth and death years were drummed into me for life by an 8th grade teacher.) This is the...
The only coin with a trophy I have is this one: [ATTACH] Roman Republic, M Fovri L.f. Philus, AR Denarius 119 BCE. Obv. Laureate head of Janus,...
From the James Mudie series of 40 medals issued in 1820, commemorating British Military and Naval Victories and other significant events during...
My example of the 1797 cartwheel Twopence. 41 mm., 56.1 grams. I purchased it from Karl Stephens Inc. in March 1986; it was sold to me as being...
Oh, no! Please, let's not bring up that kind of subject again -- it risks reviving a certain thread, and inspiring a certain person to post here...
One of the most expensive Roman Republican coins around (not counting those of Julius Caesar, Brutus, etc.). Unfortunately!
@Limes and @Spaniard, what I use are standard, inexpensive acrylic easels made to prop up books, to display photographs and other artwork, etc....
Thanks so much for this. I have the same Cohen 1 that you do, @Ocatarinetabellatchitchix : Vabalathus with Aurelian, billon Antoninianus,...
My one coin of Lucilla: Lucilla (wife of Lucius Verus & daughter of Marcus Aurelius) AR Denarius 164-66 AD, Rome Mint. Obv. Bare head right,...
Thanks. It came from the last FSR auction. It's only my 6th ancient Greek coin, but it really appealed to me for whatever reason.
Ok. Thanks. You meant a curio cabinet or vitrine. I have quite a few of the tabletop kind for my antiquities. No room for a free-standing one!
Thanks to both of you. Especially now, it reduces my stress levels a great deal to look at them. Or to turn my head the other way and see...
Since it will be another year or two before the three trays I'm now using are full, I have plenty of time to figure out what to do at that...
I read that entire thread, @Clavdivs. Fascinating, and a beautiful result! How long will it take you to fill that up?!
Not sure what you mean.
Rather than thanking all of you individually, I'll simply say that I greatly appreciate your positive comments. I respect all of you, and your...
I assume it's some kind of antiquity rather than a coin? Because if it were a Roman coin, it would presumably be listed in BCMRE or the parallel...
Perhaps they read that notorious magazine article in the early 1960s that claimed that you could dissolve a fork by leaving it in a glass of...
I remember that movie! I don't go out much these days, but from what I've seen, things aren't actually much like that here.
Unfortunately, I live in a rather average-size (for one person) New York City rental apartment. Even if I'd never spent a penny on coins, I...
