That's only really a viable option in the US if you're in Colorado Springs or New York City.
Yup, in the first workshop. The countermarked ones aren't that bad at all. You'd be hard pressed to find the same stamps on non-ugly coins! I...
Is that a RESTITVTOR ACHAEAE type I see? NICE!
The same thing can go both ways. It wasn't until I took my first Chinese history class that I started collecting the coins. But then it went hand...
Oh man, the Lizard Lounge! I regret that I was only 19 last time I was there. (The kind folks offered, but I was a good ANA intern and declined. LOL)
That sounds like an excellent class. Let me know how it goes!
No one? Fine. Roman Provincial Antioch, Syria AE tetrachalkon 1st century BC
A good start! As you mentioned in another thread, the ancient traffic has been a bit slow around here lately. How about some more Severans:...
The Leontini tetradrachm in the upper left would be worth around $12000 if genuine. The Corinth stater and the Istros drachm (upper and lower...
Then I can add that its a tetrachalkon. On the reverse is a specific date in the Caesarean Era. But I won't say which city its from yet. :D

The one with two dots is McAlee 1177b, second issue AD 252-253. Three dots is McAlee 1173c, first issue AD 251. (sorry I'm late! :D)
I know that I'm supposed to put myself in the shoes of a registry collector, but that's unbelievably hard for me. Frankly, my dear, I just don't...
Somehow I missed your reply. I think there were something like 3,700 of the bronze medals made. And the Philippines stuff is in the back of the...
The first is a British lead token about 1300-1600. Can you get a better picture of the obverse of number 3 (not the side with the standing figure,...
True, but an overflowing cornucopia makes more sense than a drunk bird. :mouth: Usually, the exergue line can be used to figure out the correct...
Thanks, Ice! I'm a little surprised there weren't more comments on the proof
An excellent coin to start with! Unfortunately, I don't have any to share - I always put off getting an owl. They just seemed so available to...
Haha, I see what you mean by "color" on the obverse now!
