You might be surprised. This particular coin did set me back a bit, but some of my other Republican coins were very reasonable ($35-$85). You...
Thanks guys for your comments and your help.
When I blow the image up, I think I can see a shadow of a monogram to the left. So, what do you think is the reference for this coin? According...
Once again, on a whim, I purchased a coin without complete identification. In fact it was listed as "Unknown Greek or Roman". I have since...

As you say, if you know what you are looking for, when you find it, pull that trigger. I was looking for a Caligula Denarius to complete my set...
I'm one of those who like to refer to themselves as "bottom feeders". You know, the kind that always tries to find a deal. And, being patient, I...
I do believe you are correct. Some of the "new gang" have extensive knowledge and great collections. I can only hope to one day achieve a small...
