Lol, who can?
I guess the same could be said of scarcity of modern Mexican coins? Its all the same man, whatever your interest and passion is, is what you...
I have a china cabinet my mother bought me. I think I will take some glassware junk out and put them in there. I have other artifacts, (judean...
Interesting coins sir. I collect coins from Uzbekistand quite a bit, but just older.
So I bought some Sogdian artifacts recently. I do not do this often, but these pieces moved me. These were all found in Ustrushana, which is...
I am not sure. They list it as incuse reverse. I am not positive if there was a negative die, or they struck the coin only on one side. I would...
Yeah, I really do need to photograph/film some of my stuff. I have two boxes, (about 75 coins per), of Sogdian and working on the third. Same with...
Lol, I am not a guru of these at all. Bill would be the closest to that. But yes, the reverse is an incuse design, just like some early Greek...
Yes, this is the more "hunnic" looking version of these. More of them copy Roman coins. It looks very much like the Shahi Tagin you have as your...
I do not think I do. I have many "symposium" books, but not that one. Is it in English? I see the cheapest example on Amazon is for $185.

So Anoob has been putting a hurting on me lately in the "unusual ancients" category. This is my retaliation. Its a 5th-8th century gold bracteate...
It can. I was simply talking generically about weights sir. Many people dismiss underweights because of circulation, but they are closer than you...
That washington is so bad a fake as to be somewhat interesting. They couldn't have been trying to fool anyone or any machine. I almost think it...
Oh I will comment. :) This coin appears to be similar to Funan coins, which makes sense since Funan was the precursor civilization for this area...
If the surfaces were a touch nicer I might think it was just an offmetal strike. I usually recognize fourrees by their surfaces. Usually they have...
They will come around. I was never introduced to the hobby by anyone, I found it on my own. I am the only collector in my family. Like most,...
Exactly. I know of two very well respected ancient dealers living in rural MN, one clear up by Lake Superior. Coin stores are an antiquated model...
Np Steve, I was just adding "color commentary". I haven't had time to photograph any newp's lately, so thought I could at least do that. Trying to...
Separate names with a comma.
