We were told that Trajan demonetized 'old money' removing it from circulation. To accept the theory presented, we need hoard evidence that Antony...
I have two related questions: How many of the billionaires currently driving up prices are new to the hobby and have more money than they can...
A few questions for Curtis or anyone who has something to say: Has anyone done a metal study of the Trajan restorations? Do they match the...
Agree. For comparison: [ATTACH]
I've always found interest in the variations in shapes of the sestertii of this period. Many have one or more flat sides with the others being...

Flipover double strikes can be fun if a bit messy. This denarius of Septimius Severus is aligned relatively the same on both sides. Both sides...
Septimius Severus and Clodius Albinus from Pautalia [ATTACH] Next: two unrelated people on one coin (no family, no spouses)
