Nice! A worthy addition to your collection.
Great coin, Donna! The only Roman gold I have is a Johannes tremissis and a decrepit Claudius.
Are S805's out there in similar condition? Or is that a fughettabout it one?:wacky::wideyed::D I rather enjoy the S805's. Does Allen Berman...
Dang, mine are uncleaned. I'll have to dig around for them. Dr. Fishman was selling them back around 2007. I did manage to snag a silver one....
I do understand where you're coming from. In any hobby, it's slightly less fun when one's actually acquired it. My coin collection sucks in the...
I enjoyed the article's snarky comment about the page's slow load times. :smug::wideyed:. I guess that explains the contractor part...
Cool; I like everyone's coins. I noted the provenance and history of the author. I don't speak Italian, and the tome is probably hard to come...

Ah, well that makes your case for a replacement much stronger. The stuff is purple?
The history of Byzantium podcast got me back on a Byzantine collecting kick. I've always wanted a nice example of this issue, and I finally found...

I recently have been ordering from London Ancient Coins. On the mailing menu was the dreaded DHL (and my little order would have been...
There's also the matter of the standing (straight-legged) elephant and walking elephant; I prefer the latter. I think Forum might have one...
It's certainly an excellent podcast; so detailed. The History of Rome, which I'm still sampling, is pretty decent, but isn't quite the deep dive...
By the way, I listened to the History of Byzantium podcast episode about Leo's rule during the 720s today.
That's great to hear the good news! Let's hope for more good tidings!
