Wow! That bull riding the dolphin is pretty cool (though tiring for the dolphin)! I guess dolphins were a major mode of transportation back...
FWIW, It's not grammatically incorrect to end a sentence with a proposition. It's just that in formal writing it's frowned upon.
+1. Personally, I find huge value in the following services from dealers: - Weeding out fake coins I would have fallen for - Attribution -...
My win today didn't come from the Wise Centaur collection, but I'm super happy to win it. [ATTACH] KINGS of MACEDON. Ptolemy Keraunos. 281-279...
Because outside of Heritage, there's not much of a premium for being slabbed.
The thing is you are paying a huge premium by sticking to slabs for most common coins. Today, I purchased my very first slabbed coin. I didn't...

I find that photos help most on the bronze coins. In fact, I now show photos of these coins more often than the actual coins! This Macedonian...
