Yeah, its a great coin overall. I just think visually unappealing for the grade. If I want to pay for a 67+, I want a great looking coin with...
Thanks for the link. While it is a great coin obviously, do you agree with the grade? I mean, all of those marks on her mouth and cheek and its a...
Very true sir. I should posted more about the subject. I knew Mr. hartill owned the rights since I had obtained from him to reproduce a...
Btw in the lower right of the first photo is one of my newest books, "From Persepolis to the Punjab". I cannot recommend it highly enough as an...
Well I believe I could get Mr, Hartill's but since I was wanting to do others, the point is moot. Maybe just pics of the outside of the book and a...
To the OP, I simply don't think "the most expensive coin on Ebay" is really relevant. All you will get is grossly overpriced stuff that will never...
It is a great idea, though even a "large coin section" is relative. My little library here is larger than most university libraries for ancient...
Actually sir that is a rarer Hepthalite bronze. What makes it unusual is the reverse device. I have seen them, but do not have any. The more...

Could be jewelry as well, you are right. Btw, the obverse especially is not German, but Venetian. If any German coins looked like this it would...
I do not believe the elephant coin is Kushan, but Indian from around the 10th century. By then the Kushans were gone. My understanding of the...
I think you may be surprised how many different varieties you have Doug. Kai Yuan have many varieties, and I have found many not even in Hartill....
Hi all, I wanted to start a thread about books. One of the main problem with references is that you don't know how good it will be, and cannot...
The first coin is a Nezak Hun, Hepthalite, silver drachm. There were minted around Kabul. The "Hepthalite" designation is somewhat tenuous, as...
I would, the blue book I do not feel has the same quantity of information for the collector as the red book. A red book and an ANA grading guide...
