Victor sold it to Mike Gasvoda last year but is still involved at least for now. Regarding the website, I think it looks pretty slick. Some of...
I've got a couple 53/2's, along with their Brinkman groupings, I think. Happy to be corrected as I find them not so easy to discern sometimes....
Spork - An excellent upgrade and really great example of the type. I particularly like the obverse style which I think is better than mine. Note...
I think if the BD existed on the coin at the time of sale and was not disclosed (or noticed by the seller), one should have the opportunity to...
While not my area anymore, I've got 2 coins of Domitian that I just can't part with yet to buy more Roman Republicans. Domitian, Denarius circa...
