I use RIC VI by Sutherland and Carson extensively (Diocletian's reform to the death of Maximinus). I know of no better general reference than...
@Romancollector it is a group 3 variety and one of the finest I've seen. It's always a marvelous early denarius when the rims are fully visible...
Thanks to all of you who went to the NYINC for keeping the rest of us up to date. I regret not being able/willing to make it this year. I did...
Really great coin Donna. I'm very impressed. Even without the provenance, the coin is in exceptional condition with no real problems in my view....
In the 2020 NYINC, I bought coins from Herb Kreindler (B&H Kreindler), Gorney & Mosch, Sovereign Rarities, and CNG. I'm extremely happy with the...

@Alegandron In all my years as a collector, I've never received a coin as a Christmas or birthday gift. I think that is a very thoughtful gift...
@Curtisimo, Fantastic Nerva, lovely toning and great style portrait.

Thank you @Cherd. These are tiny details, which originally had some important meaning to be placed on the coinage but we can only speculate what...
Half of my top 10 are early Roman Republican Denarii, a particular affinity of mine for the last 15 years or so. Over the last few years I had...
Aidan, Great year for you. Of the ancients I'm most fond of the Cornelia denarius. It is an excellent example in great style and lovely toning...
