Wow!
Who came after Max Thrax? (Embarrassingly just had to look it up.) Oh yeah. Gordian I and II. Oof. Tough stuff. I never had those, and...
I literally LOL-ed when I saw that Alan Jackson clip. :) Back when it was on the radio a lot, it became my numismatic theme song for a while....
I agree, which is why I came up with that shorthand term so long ago. Case in point: though I didn’t especially need this Claudius as for my own...
Pontos, Amisos. Hera & Owl. [ATTACH] Next: another non-Athenian owl.
Well, it was, 16 years ago. It has since gained something of a small foothold in certain online numismatic circles. (Not so much in the context...
Yes. Augustus (the first guy’s title), as opposed to Augustus (the title assumed by his later successors). Point being, don’t confuse the former...
Oh yes. A bit overzealous on blood and body count, but excellent historical fiction. Not that I'm much into fiction anymore, but I did read a...
The oversimplistic way my first Ancients mentor taught it to me, regarding those titles, is this: think of the Augustus as the president. The...
WOW! I love mural crowns. All I have is this $20-something cheapo. Still a fun little coin. Like it? It could be yours, anybody- if you win...
I can agree with you there. I'm into that 1723 British sixpence D/S error (linked to above) for around $500. If this coin could've been had in...
You're the one who brought it up by saying "Def Dam". I didn't. I never said a word about it being damaged. Edit- wait, no, sorry. It was...
"Def Dam" is @paddyman98's trademark catchphrase for "definitely damaged" (i.e., not an error). This coin plainly IS an error. Quite a dramatic...
These are two entirely different questions. What would I pay? Somewhere in the low range of the poll (the $200-400 bracket). What is the...
It might not pass muster at a TPG due to the aforementioned cleaning, and get a "details" grade rather than a "straight" grade. That being said,...
@JayAg47 - I like your ATG drachm (it's a CircCam!), and the Miletos lion.
BTW, though I have not always been a fan of the type (for some inexplicable reason), I quite like that cistophorus you have (Row 6, right), and...
I wish I could personally admire all of the ones I posted above. Alas, due to the revolving nature of my collection, all but two of those are...
These clarifications are great. Thanks.
Your perceptive questions here have demonstrated your obvious intelligence rather than made you look dumb in the least. I’ve had many of the same...
Separate names with a comma.
