Thank you, Terence, for the information and your wonderful coins. I've never spent much time studying the extensive issues, both lifetime and...
Thank you for the information on the presence or absence of the footstool on the reverse of Alexander III's lifetime and early posthumous coins....
That's a beautiful coin! So, the tetradrachms without the footstool or foot rest (can't imagine someone like Zeus needing one) are mostly found...
Nice coins posted! As an additional note to the coin that I posted, I was told that it came from north of Beit She an, Israel.
It's been a while since my last thread. I do have some new coins coming in, mostly a procession of imitative owls, but also this Alexander III...
It would have been very helpful for present day collectors if the Roman Senate issued a manual on how to go about creating a damnatio memoriae...
I agree that the mere presence of scratches or gouges is not prima facie that the coin was defaced as a damnatio memoriae. The coin I posted...

This little vignette is taking on a definite tone. Athens 164/5 BC Tetradrachm Caduceus reverse 17.0 grams [ATTACH] Next: A coin that has...

Good point. The son trades on eBay extensively, but as far as I can tell most of his items are US coins. The shop itself is a virtual Fibber...
No, this shop is in San Jose, Falcone's Coins and Collectables. If you Google their name you'll get their contact information and address. Sal...
Thank you all for your suggestions and comments. I've known this dealer going back to 1980, when he was still selling coins from his car, before...
Hi Barry When you evaluate a coin for authenticity, what analytical tools do you use, beside determining weight? Do evaluate the metal content,...
I am considering posting a thread about a local coin dealer, who has been operating his shop since the early 80s. I haven't asked him yet, and he...
Thank you for sharing the contents of this box, Barry. I've never seen what a shipment of high-power ancients to NGC even looks like. For me, it...
