I've only got one of Alexander the great, a bronze piece of Amphipolis in Macedon. Nice coins everyone!
None in my collection yet. Nice find @stevex6
One more thing, apparently the EU has decided to make it much more difficult to export uncleaned hoards recently, so I don't know if such...
I just think this was really cool! Congrats to the winner @Nyatii.
Actually the altar looks a bit better when cleaned, more detail. I had some success with 4th century bronze pieces with layers of crud - some of...
Michael II reigned as Byzantine Emperor from 25 December 820 to his death on 2 October 829, the first ruler of the Amorian dynasty. Born in...

Very generous of you. I just threw my name into the hat on the other giveaway thread, so I am going to pass right now (doesn't feel right to be in...
Throw my name in the hat, sweet coin of Maxentius! I actually don't have any of Maxentius yet so it would fill a hole in my collection. What a...

I have mixed feelings about Constantine. Let's see - he boiled his wife, killed his son, killed his nephew, dismantled the tetrarchy, and also had...
