Thanks folks. I wholeheartedly concur. I guess Lorenz was a hack. :troll::happy:
Actually, I like the aged look. But if you wanted to replace them, I’m sure you could get some of your money back by selling the used trays on...
So I was reading around about the reverse legend MARTI PATRI CONSERVATOR, which appears on early folles of Constantine, ca. 307. In the old...
Thanks. I am looking for something new to watch.
This was a tough question when I was starting to re-catalogue about 2-3 years ago. I looked at how VCoins dealers arranged their coins and...
Coryssa. Wow. I was unaware of this resource. Thanks!
So I really like ANS's ONLINE COINS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE (OCRE) site. http://numismatics.org/ocre/ It's helpful to get a fix on average...

This interesting and generous post makes me feel pretty good about my VRF I got back in October for $3.98 shipped! [ATTACH]
Regarding whether or not to use eBay at check out, I nearly purchased a coin this month from a German eBay site. The seller in his notes to the...
Sorry for the fine print, but I keep a few charts like these to help me gauge my bidding on the few auctions I participate in. They aren’t perfect...
