Yikes. My "methods" are very kitchen sink level! I rinsed off the Bar Keepers Friend with water. What is natrium bicarbonate? Will a Coca-Cola...
This happens a lot - I see something on eBay, I have only a vague idea what it is, but bid on it anyway if the price is right. Here are the...
A really fine collection, Donna. The combination of interesting types and condition really makes this an outstanding assortment. I am a little...
I just got a VIC GER that looks a lot like the VIC PAR series. This one is a sestertius for Marcus Aurelius. Funny how the Germans, the Dacians,...
T-Bone Liberalitas (not Libertas) sestertius. This one is kind of gruesome, but rather scarce: [ATTACH] Trebonianus Gallus Æ Sestertius (253...

Terrific write-up and stunning coin. I have no sestertii of Elagabalus, but I do have this as with the ADVENTVS reverse. In keeping with the...
It is a very good looking coin. This is not to say it is genuine - there are some scary fakes coming out of eastern Europe and some of them have...
