Hi all As some may know, I like to have systems and frameworks for my coin collection. I like to split up my coins not just by time periods, but...
I find this post far too sensible. NEVER! Lovely trachy though. Another one on my want list.
Curmudgeon??? Hey, I may be crusty and old, but I will NOT STAND FOR ANYONE CALLING ME ILL TEMPERED! Oh... wait.... ;) In all seriousness, I...
Lovely Solidi @panzerman ! I do still need to get me an Anastasius solidus. It's on a very long list of wants :) As an aside, I can tell you it...
Heh, what about the rest of my statement???? ;)

Amazing coins, but far too rich for my blood. A question, are CNG Triton auctions premium coins only?
Sorry, my comments were meant to be tongue in cheek. Sometimes jokes don't translate well over text! I am a keen collector of ERE :) Unlike many...
Eastern Roman Empire
Congrats on the acquisition! But yea, stay away from the ERE. It's not popupar, and it should stay that way... :P

What is the edge design supposed to be for these type? I think confirming the edge design would be a critical point to determine whether it is...
