Egypt (Ptolemaic Kingdom): silver didrachm of Ptolemy VI ("Philometer"), second sole reign, ca. 163-145 BC; Cyprus mint [ATTACH] Obverse: Diademed...
It has been a while since I followed your progress, too. Keep up the quest! What would you say has been the best find so far?
The second one has the Number of the Beast as part of its serial number. Whether that means it's the one to keep or the one to sell, or whether...
Ah, yes. I'm a fan, too. :) Didn't have the shell with any of the three Soho proofs I have owned, but they're no doubt why we have some of the...
What a nose! And what a wonderfully expressive portrait, too. The reverse is just as nice.
Yowza! You go, @1934 Wreath Crown! I'll live vicariously through your aureii. I've always wanted one, but don't think I'll ever have one....
Y'all may not all know him, but @cladking is someone whose numismatic opinions I have respected for nearly thirty years.

Oops. I just hit the "buy" button. How in the world did THAT happen? :woot: [IMG] The first one, with the doubling, is now mine. So after...
Here 'tis. Not necessarily a dream coin, per se, but it's been on my watchlist a while, ever since I saw that stierkopf (steer's head). A goofy...
10x like-button smash, and ROFL too! I still don't have any dang snake- or cupid-drawn conveyances or sewer-goddess coins, or suchlike myriad...
Nope. Same issues on a T-1 connection when I was at work. And you can see the other replies here. @TIF, I love your site, and I looked at Wix...
Oh- and I have a crush on the German hurdy-gurdy artist who calls herself "Patty Gurdy". Not for everyone. But I love her stuff. (Doesn't hurt...
Yes, peso. Sorry, saying "50c" was a tired brain glitch on my part. I think the darker toning makes your 1922 peso much more handsome than my...
I once spent an entire night listening to this melancholy and beautiful piece on repeat. In the video, the editor looped the short Shostakovich...
