Very nice, Al. Yes, as is often the case with these coins, rarity or scarcity do not necessarily translate into high values. I guess the...

That's a really nice group for 2021, with variety and interesting types. #10 has a nice obverse strike, along with appealing dark brown and...
That is an exhaustive list! I would say, basically, all of the above, with the exceptions of speculative, perfectionist, monomaniac, suetonian...
It is indeed an interesting article. Until I read it, I was unaware that Caligula constructed the fort with an eye to invade and occupy Britain,...
