My one, very youthful-looking, Commodus: Commodus AR Denarius 181 AD. Obv. Laureate head right, M COMMODVS ANTONINVS AVG/ Rev. Pax standing left,...
Wow; thank you!
But why wouldn't the person have smoothed the roughness before doing the replating? Oh well. If you and Doug are correct, there's nothing I can...
Then you should have just said "someone I share the house with" instead of introducing her as "she." That made it extremely difficult to...
Well, that would be a huge disappointment, even though I paid only $50 for the coin! So although I defer to your superior knowledge, I hope you're...
Just trying to make sure I understand what you're saying. "She" seems to be the person who had the cat put to sleep. Your mother? I don't know...

I have three different Probus ants -- unusual for me, since for the most part I have only one coin per emperor/caesar/empress. Each shows a...
My father "collected" old newspapers that he never threw out, dating back 70 years or so! It used to drive my mother crazy. After he died, I did...

My example of this coin (from the Arles mint) weighs 7.0 grams as well. I don't think the weight alone should call the authenticity of your coin...
This is my example: Constantine I, Billon reduced Centenionalis, Trier 330-331 AD. Obv. VRBS ROMA, helmeted bust of Roma left/ Rev. She-wolf stdg....
And then there are the MA-Shops sellers -- all seemingly located in France, for whatever reason -- who apply the grade "AU" to just about every...
I may have to walk back my statement that my coin was minted in Viminacium, which was in the seller's description, and is how Wildwinds describes...
