I love "the Tater"...funniest guy of the four IMHO. Don't get him too close to the whiskey though.
Yours are examples of the small, less expensive types. SGCV references a larger coin actually. They made these in many sizes, with the tiniest...
Yes, they were standard coins in Olbia, along with some other non-traditional looking coins. The most expensive ones have OLBIA on the coin. The...
Heck, if people want fourree byzantine I will pass along ones I see at auctions. They are not terribly uncommon. I usually remember them since its...
Well, all of her portrait coins. Remember, though, these were done in profile, (not a great choice for a greek lady), and when she was much...
I just shake my head. Maybe I am just getting old and grumpy, but its a bullion coin with a tiny bit of metal missing. Its not like its a proof...

Um, I have to disagree. I see coins across the board going up. Yes, lower grade items have not gone up as much, but are still double of what I...
I have collected Byzantine follis and solidi for about 18 years now. There really has been no direction but up. The same solidus that today sells...
I hear you. Some of these can be pretty, but I always find myself circling around to what I consider to be a "coin". Is it anything in the world...
Bill would be the authority on these, but I do not like the look of them personally.
To find the answer look at something as simply as wheat cents. Coins from the teens and twenties are the "good ones", being much scarcer. The...
Concerning Parthian, they are scarcer than most other coins here, as well as the boring factor you mention. Yes, bronzes are more varied, but are...
Congrats on the Ranger training. I never went that far. I got volunteered for airborn and air assault, but never Ranger. My cousin was 30 year SF,...
Bad quality fake, sorry. I seriously doubt it is real silver either. As for why I say that, look at the extreme mushiness of the design versus...
