Yes indeed, he has been selling some pretty interesting sestertii, etc. at quite reasonable (for eBay) buy-it-now prices. I have a pair of Philip...

Some wonderful coins in this thread. Those countermarks posted by @Factor really got me excited. But everything else too. Wow. :wideyed:...

Just got in a Byzantine follis of Justin I minted in Nikomedia. For these early undated folles, the attribution process is fairly straightforward...
