I would go with a Corinthian stater if you want a pegasus. They were made in large quantities so fairly easy to find. I am cheap, but am thinking...
I have like 5 of the rhino right, and 4 rhino left quadrans of Domitian. I saw a egyptian provincial once but was stupid and didn't buy it,...
Beautiful coin.
I agree, but what is known? Just incremental supply costs should be up. Everything else is speculation, so that is why I left it at the little...
Maybe you are right. I was the one asking if he or anyone has references that discuss such rash adjustment marks on such a coin. I never said it...
Probably is, but everyone needs to get into a different mindset with Colonials that is different than normal US coins. When you start getting back...
What kinds of gods? Are you looking for the classis Neptune, Zeus, etc, or open to city gods, nymphs, etc? Almost everything you can think of can...
All things being equal, higher oil should equal higher gold prices. Of course, in life as we know, all things aren't equal. I will let others...
Fair enough. I love mine, and would consider buying another. I bought it to put with my Nabatean collection, but Doug's writeup of the importance...
Good post and I agree with your thoughts and logic. The only way I could see this possibly being owned by the mint, (and not come directly from...

Very true sir. I have learned the hard way in many ways in this hobby, and I believe both of us view our posts here just as a way to help the...
I would disagree with gboulton a little. IF buying either the 67 or 2 65's will not adversely affect your collecting budget, and IF you can tell...
Sounds like a small town I moved to in Iowa some years ago. I never understood small town mentality of being so nosy. I went out with a lady, and...
I would say, if you like them, try to cherry pick them. My favorite game was try to find one fully struck. Not as easy as you would think. Many...
You are missing the point. Unless you wish to cut the coin in half, and acid test is not foolproof. Surface coat the fake and it will pass your...
Even for bullion/junk I would not buy there unless you knwo what you are doing. I have seen "junk" world silver at such places that were all...
Depends. For most of my coins, (the ones I am not actively pursuing the series), maybe once every 5 years. If I haven't collected something in a...
I think you are concentrating way too much on certified examples as well. Myself, I never collected slabbed coins but collected these when I was...
Separate names with a comma.
