Speechless! What a superb coin! Not just a white whale! You beat Moby-Dick, indeed, @AncientJoe !
Great thread. Despite this is a theme that always paid my attention, I only have these Diana types:[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Personally, I see no big problems in a collector having a Paduan or a Becker in their collection as long as they "true", if he has not been...
No. Government is only interested in taxes. If a product I care about here gets caught, I'll pay those heavy taxes. I pay, they release.
Here in Brazil, in addition to a long long waiting for the goods to be released by the post office, if it goes to the customs, it will be placed...
This is really very easy to do and say when you live in countries with a large offer of sellers and numismatic houses. If I lived in the United...
Awesome coin, @David Atherton!!:jawdrop:
Unfortunately, I only have the typical type: [ATTACH] Silver denarius, RIC II, 2.8g, Rome mint, 69 - 70 A.D.; obverse IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG,...

I believe Clio should laugh a lot when reading this thread here in CT. Could it be Clio's Chuck Norris numismatist version?:cool:
For just passing fake coins, I don't know. But the act to counterfeit coins: damnatio ad bestias (a form of Roman capital punishment in which the...
Nice coin, @Pishpash! Mine, maybe a couple of thousand years ago, was similar as yours: [ATTACH] Bronze AE 18, 3.5g, 18.7mm, Amphilpolis mint,...
Wow! Balbinus...in excellent grade...clasping hands...!!! Congrats, @Pishpash! I only have, if I am not mistaken, a denarius of Nerva and one of...
Congratulations! Nice coin to start one collection!
Great coins, as always @Deacon Ray ! And what a wonderful place. It's in my want list!
Thank you, @Valentinian. I don't think I have enough technical knowledge to write numismatic articles for renowned journals. I'm just an amateur...
That’s the point. Most of the fourrées are easily recognized today, both for the style features and for the core's exposure. But there are...
