I would agree with this.
I agree with others. Does not look like any of the 22 plains I have seen before. Always remember the 22 plain came from overpolishing the die, so...
Holy crap man. Talk about a glutton for punishment. I used to work on the halves, and that was bad enough. The quarters are simply BRUTAL.
They very well could be sir. Please do not take this thread as against that firm. Its not against them, more against the idea of using such a...
I agree. If the fun of coin collecting was owning a complete "set", then sets would never be broken up. In fact, sets are nearly ALWAYS broken up...
What a load of crap. The Bulgarians simply make these illegal to export so they have a way to demand bribes to get them out. The only science...
Hell, I am 46 and would stand in line to be adopted by AncientJoe. :)
Lol, my wife wishes my collection total price was around $3000. Eh, I don't drink, don't smoke, have no other hobbies and make a decent living. I...

What is the size and or marking differences? This one is quite large for a late egyptian, maybe AE24, so I was assuming it was a 80. If anyone has...
No, you never have cause to be envious of my coins, TIF, after seeing the gorgeous pieces you own. :)
So when I go out of town I try to go to local coin stores. Most of the time it's a wasted trip, since I collect ancients, and pretty esoteric...
Nice coin Warren. Romanus is an emperor than many times comes nice. There was a revival after the initial onslaught of the Arabs and this coin is...
I agree. There is no hard and fast rule for these coins. I was just trying to give an example or a rough idea of the hit the problem designation...
F details is pretty easy to grade. The coin grades a F except that there is a major flaw with it, such as a harsh cleaning. As for value, a...
Actually, from my experience there is no way it should weigh 12.4. 11.6-8 would be more in line with my expectations. If its real, I believe it...
