I bought this and made my competitor pay very dearly for a few others that I underbid. [ATTACH] Roman Republic, Apollo/Apollo series, Cast...
It's a lovely example! Really great obverse, which is where the money is, and very nice reverse with just some flatness on Venus' body (not a big...
I have bought tons (probably literally!) of books from them over the years and they are wonderful people and totally reliable, but they are a...

Congratulations on your beautiful new aureus, AJ. I picked up a Zeno coin in 2020 as well. [ATTACH] L. Cornelius Sulla. 84-83 BC. AR...

That wasn't Barry's point. He shows an example of the same official dies where the fasces extends to at least the head and then explained that...

Nice new acquisition, Fugio! I'll post my Memmia 427 to complete the moneyer and your thread. [ATTACH]
