The 5 Good Emperors: Nerva, A.D 96-98 Trajanus, A.D 98-117 Hadrianus, A.D 117-138 Antoninus Pius, A.D 138-161 Marcus Aurelius, A.D 161-180...
Yes, I have to say ancients seem to be as common (well, almost) at coins shows in here as Morgans are in the U.S. If you ever get a chance, you...
That is a very nice (and scarce!) type. Congratulations!
Thanks all for your comments. I have to admit I am really attracted to reverses 'which show something'. I am probably therefore not a...
This is my only bronze of Caracalla. Caracalla (198-217), Sestertius, Rome, AD 210-213, Obv: M - AVR ANTONINVS PIVS AVG BRIT (?), laureate head...
I was able to find my way to the Frankfurt Numismata Show after all in spite of my severe recent foot injury (got to thank my wife who drove me...
Fully agree regarding the cleaning. Finding original, untouched Seated Dollars is a challenge. I have a few of these in my collection, and all...
Another recent pick-up. Seated coins are not my main focus, and this one is also in fairly low grade. However, I could not leave it behind...
Thank you, guys, and you Dave for taking the time to post the pictures. I agree, one could talk about early copper die states for days on end....

Thank you Mat, C-B-D and SuperDave for your comments. You may be right, Dave, who knows. However, concerning the obverse weakness of S-277,...
Very pleased with the overall appearance of this 1808 Classic Head. Three varieties are known for the year, this one is S-277, Rarity-2. The...
Congratulations to the O.P on a significant numismatic achievement!
I agree heartily, and will speak very highly of Richard Uhrich. He was very helpful in helping me find some scarce dimes that I was looking for.
That is a pretty and very heterogeneous grouping of coins. Two Trajans, a Domitian and a nice Marcus Aurelius sestertius from the Imperial side....
A interesting coin with an unusual portrait of Trajan! Seems quite scarce as well? Provincials is one area of numismatics I have never gotten...
Das glaube ich gerne! Schön ist er. Glückwunsch! Habe selber nur ein Pertinax As in meiner Sammlung. Der war aber noch erschwinglich. Nice...
