Wow! Now that is a nice acquisition. I was watching it sell live, glad to see it went to someone who’ll truly appreciate it. As you mention, these...
A new purchase arrived yesterday and I couldn’t be happier with it! [ATTACH] Warring states, State of Zhao. Ca. 350-281 BC. Small square foot...
Thanks guys! Beautiful coins @Milesofwho and @Finn235! And I know you wanted to flip the lot, but I still hate bidding against people I know.....
Quoting @Mat from a recent topic, I too thought I would remain a CNG virgin for quite a while. They usually don’t have any Chinese coinage from...
Awesome! I am sure he'll fit right in. I must say, I am looking forward to the meeting :)
Thanks for the tag @TypeCoin971793! Indeed, I too will be going this October and meeting @altaycoins for the second time (although we didn’t speak...
For sale: a nice Anglo-Saxon penny from the last real Anglo-Saxon king Edward the Confessor (1043-1066). An important historical ruler, as well as...
Ai, a bad day indeed! A shame to see such a beautiful spade broken. If you want to get rid of it for a decent price, you know who to message! For...
Thanks guys! Well, I’ve got the entire archaeological library of the faculty at my disposal, as well as most of their online journal...
Imagine a 2300 year old cutlery drawer: [ATTACH] (Side-note: This has to be the most satisfying photograph I’ve made all-year ;)) I got these...
Oops :oops:. My apologies, I made a slight mistake; It should have been ‘pointed’ instead of ‘straight’. That makes a little bit more sense, and...
That would be 布, also pronounced Bu (to be precise: Bǔ (third tone), but I usually leave out these tonal mark for clarities sake). This Bu卜...
An excellent topic that sadly went underappreciated! Your picture urged me to make one of my own: [ATTACH] As you can see, I don’t have an...
What a great matchup @Curtisimo! @Jay GT4's denarius is a historic beauty, but I love the fact that another Chinese coin is being played. Well...
That is a valid point. In my initial post I mentioned that it was struck off-flan, but I agree that it rises too sharply to have a squared-off...
Nice catch! These short cross pennies are hard to get this clear. Let me just start with saying that I am not an expert on this series. But I...
Nice one for an excellent price! Even though he is not regarded as the best king ever (a slight understatement), he is still a historically...
Even though it is holed, I absolutely love that William the Conqueror Paxs! Edric on London, right? Congrats on your award!
This lot still continues to amaze me for several reasons. I’d say that is an excellent analysis, just a few extra points. One thing I think you...
The stuff of nightmares! No wonder those Yan soldiers routed... @Terence Cheesman, a truly beautiful tet and more than a worthy opponent!...
