I couldn’t find any source for the year of Florian’s birth, so I can’t really say. I suspect that if they were believed to be brothers their age...
I recently acquired this one for my Roman Emperor collection. I'm up to about four now. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Florian, 276. Antoninianus...
Seems like there are quite a number of folks who use RIC, and about an equal number who prefer other resources. I really appreciate all the...
I don’t have any nautical themed coins, but best of luck to you!

Google “Why don’t coin dealers take credit cards?” and you’ll find dozens of discussions related to the topic.
Sounds like several folks bought quite a few coins! It must have been a great show and I’m disappointed it didn’t work out for me to attend. I am...
