Well, that clears things up. :angelic: Maybe distinguishing between the two is something that becomes easier over time as opposed to learning a...
Thanks for the comment. So even in provinces like Spain, Gaul, and Britain, where presumably Greek was not spoken, the Provincial coinage will...
Forgive me if this is a naive question, but how does one determine if a coin is "Roman Imperial" vs a "Roman Provincial" issue? I understand that...
No limit. But I tend to have very focused collections with a well defined number of coins. I’m still trying to figure out how to do that with...
I also observed that the prices for the nicer material in these recent auctions have been very strong. I understand that there are no price guides...
Well at least I'm in good company. :) For what it's worth, I think you will do OK on the Akragas. Maybe not if you flip it right away, but if you...

I will be attending, but on Sunday for auction lot viewing. I would be happy to meet up with anyone else who is there. I'm kind of surprised there...
Congratulations on the grade! I might sell it and cash in.
This makes sense to me. From a member benefit point of view, it seems the ANS library and collection are the most valuable resources. Especially...
Yes, it is mine. I like it too. :)
Does anyone here belong to the ANS? I'm trying to understand the purpose of the ANS and why one would become a member. The ANA I understand, it is...
Congratulations!
Obviously there is no rigorous date to the end of antiquity. According to Gibbon in his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776), in 476 AD...
It's an interesting question. Coins that have been above-ground in a living-person's possession since antiquity? Sure, that must be true for many...
If you buy a several hundred dollar coin and you enjoy it for the next twenty years, you will have gotten your money's worth out of it. And twenty...
Looks nice to me!
