As they say, 46.5% of all statistics are fabricated. You can't possibly buy from every eBay seller, so any attempt to claim percentages of honest...
The trick is they get cohorts to buy some items and leave glowing reviews.
That's an astute observation TIF - I hadn't noticed it. Looking at both of those images side-by-side, I get the effect of an M. C. Escher...
Doug, help me out here if you would. The second coin is obviously a fouree as some of the core is showing through. Are the brownish areas in the...
Here are some excerpts from a lecture delivered to the Numismatic Society in London by John Yonge Akerman in 1843. I wonder if you Roman experts...
Jerry and TIF - those are beautiful examples of the type. Great choices! I have one little paltry bronze from Macedon, Phillip II, father of...
TIF, the two examples of this coin at Wildwinds are in a higher grade, but if I was given a choice between the three for my collection, I would...

Well friends, here's a positively awful looking fouree denarius, but I found the piece intriguing for the added dimension of being a mule. [IMG]...
Yeah, that's the stuff, lol.
Ok, you're in kid, but let's see some ugly! Your coins are too nice. I've got a real doozy to post later today - a fouree denarius mule. This...
Excellent! All we need is a guy that collects Judaean and we'll be the Four Horsemen of the Numismalypse.
Well now you've opened Pandora's box. Hopefully Ardatirion will notice that I was very careful not to call them tokens. :) There is no short...
He was definitely one of the better rulers, and you're right about the reverse designs - a lot of variety there. But his portraits are also very...
