I think the majority of members of this forum probably make the bulk of their ancient coin purchases in auctions. But I suspect that there are...
I hardly ever buy coins of post-Valerian/Gallienus Roman emperors anymore (except for a few silver siliquae), because I don't find them -- the...
I've had this coin for a little while, but didn't really know that much about it until I read two very excellent threads on such coins from last...
Even though the two coins I bought at the current Harlan J. Berk Buy or Bid Sale have nothing to do with each other, I thought I'd post them...
I saw this tetradrachm newly-listed last week. I had never even seen the type before, and thought it was perfect for me given my interest in...
I believe the new sale catalog went up yesterday. The link to the ancient coin section, including 314 coins, is...
This may strike people as an unimportant question -- which I freely admit it is, because I have plenty of other catalog references for this coin...
I bought a Balbinus denarius back in April of this year (see below), and have been looking ever since for an (affordable) example issued by...
I decided it was time to make my final decisions after dithering for a while, and post my top 10. From the poll i posted a while ago (see...
As I've mentioned already, I've decided that my top 10 list for 2020 will be comprised entirely of Roman Republican coins. (I've already posted my...
I ordinarily like to be able to check catalog references for myself. But when I don't have the necessary catalogs and they're not available...

I've never tried to buy an ancient coin at an auction with a live component (it would be much too nerve-racking to me, as well as too tempting to...
This new arrival is a type that has been on my want list for almost as long as I've been actively collecting Roman Republican coins, and is...
This arrived in the mail today. The obverse isn't in the best condition, but I really liked the reverse. Not to be a walking stereotype, but I...
I was lucky to receive this one: DHL Express notified me on Monday that the package containing it had been delivered to me -- which it hadn't --...
I did already have a Republican denarius showing a biga drawn by goats (issued by C. Renius), and another showing a biga drawn by stags (issued by...
In the nine months (as of yesterday) since I joined Coin Talk -- and I really can't believe that I've posted more than 2,000 messages in that...
In the nearly nine months since I joined CT, there have been several threads about the Gallienus "Zoo Series," most comprehensively in @Ryro's...
This coin arrived in the mail today. I had never come across another example before, so I bought it as soon as I saw it. I'm very happy with it;...
