Happy birthday :) What a tidy solution and wonderful coin! Sharing your Vcoins wish list (as Theodosius did) is another great idea.
@chrsmat71 nailed the grade :). I'm guessing ANACS gave it an MS 60.
Nice! I have a soft spot for Pan. It sure looks like Pan holding a lagabolon rather than a pedum on all of the coins shown, although I guess...
Very nice!! I don't have a Domitian elephant quad but have this Trajan: [IMG] EGYPT. Alexandria. Trajan AE drachm, 32.3 mm, 19.8 gm Regnal year...
Congrats on the new coins and I hope the fire is contained soon. Stay safe!

Wow, that really is a rarity! Such a cool coin-- congrats! :)

The latrine article was fun and funny! What do you make of the Ganymede mosaic? At a glance I'd expect the scene to be Zeus and Ganymede but in...
Maybe I'll put a note in my box atop the coin boxes: "To any would-be thief, please note that most of these coins are bronze so melting them...
That is so scary! I can't keep the coins at the current house in Texas... it is too risky. I knew that contents of safe deposit boxes aren't...
