This $14 tool can help make all staples flat. I prefer it to pliers....
Well done @Alwin. All of the coins are great, the siglos is so detailed on the obverse and the Parthians are quite the group.
Fantastic collection for the year or even a lifetime. Good job pouring your resources into pieces you are really happy with. It shows in these...
Very nice. I would certainly like to own a siliqua, much less an East Harptree example. I would also like to add a Bohemond but they are just...
@David Atherton Wow, so fun. I admit when I see something along these lines my first thought is if it is fake or not. But sometimes you just get...
@DonnaML It's funny you say that. If you think about it, it’s 221 years since George Washington died and we still use his portrait. Not using...
@Mat Great coin! I have some bronzes of the Ptolemies, but no tets. That is a great looking coin with a ton of detail. Not at all surprised to...
Great coins and post @Valentinian. Also excellent contributions by @Mat and others. I find these issues fascinating. I appreciate your webpage...

@gsimonel You are actually on the right track, even if inadvertently. If you look at the exergue, a couple of things stand out. The delta for...
I think the coin looks okay but I would say the portrait looks more like Caracalla in general. I do defer to @Mat on tetradrachmae in general,...
What an impressive one year collection @Roerbakmix! Congrats. I like numbers 2,3,5 and 8 the most. I think it’s funny that so many...
@Mat and @Parthicus Both are excellent samples of the type. I do not have a Vonones and honestly given my limited reading on the Parthians, I’m...
Thanks guys. It’s easy to forget that Saint-Gaudens was a prolific sculptor and has several in Chicago and New York.
...Saint Gaudens, that is. I took my older daughter for lunch and to practice some photography downtown (Chicago) after the SAT the other...
I would love to see both. Fascinating stuff
So I was unaware of this until fairly recently. I know it is not strictly ancient but I’ll take a chance and figure someone will find it...
There are some great coins and replies to this thread. I’m happy to share something I’ve enjoyed with everyone. Go back through her posts:...
