Happy birthday, dear Bing! Don't know if this link still works but here's a CT oldie... a little Tequila with @Bing, @chrsmat71, @Ancientnoob ,...
I don't have that many denarii but even so it's hard to pick a favorite. This Elagabalus isn't my most expensive or highest grade denarius but it...
I bid on two and won one-- my primary target for less than the planned max. I only watched when my lots and friends' targets were approaching and...
Nice job, Jay! After struggling to engrave metal dies I thought I'd try designing fantasy ancient coins in a CAD program, then have metal dies...
