I won't bore you with my tales of cherry-picking, @David Atherton. You've heard them all before. I just want to say I'm happy for you and know how...
I'm not a big fan of slabbing in ancients and it makes sense only for high-value items. I pay for coins, not slabs. This, for example, is about a...
Lovely!
Fantastic write-up, @Jochen1! Entertaining and educational as always! Here are coins from my collection featuring the ancestors and wives of...
