Wow. That is a very nice-looking denarius. Who can argue with scarcity plus eye-appeal?
Yeah, you're welcome guys. You know - just in case you get tired of reading about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. And Happy New Year Happy New...
Yeah, that's annoying. I have a coin that says IMP CAES NER TRAIANO OPTIMO AVG GER DAC PARTHICO PM TR P COS VI PP. o_O
Huh. Yahoo actually published an article that made me click on it. What's the world coming to?...
It varies from day to day, but today it's this one... http://www.cointalk.com/threads/newp-denarius-manius-acilius-glabrio-49-bc.240197/
Dats fly yo.
YES! I wouldn't touch that coin with a dollar. But wait to see what others have to say.
Here's one for sale for a mere $26,000... http://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/nomos/115/product/attica_athens_circa_467465_bc_drachm/424139/Default.aspx

This coin arrived today, and as you can see, it looks quite different from the seller's pics. I knew it would, so I'm not disappointed - in fact,...
I like them just as they are. But if you insist on cleaning, you might try what us ancient collectors do: soak them in distilled water for a...
Here are ten of the most interesting coins I’ve collected this year, in no particular order... 1. Denarius of S. Severus, Fortuna, Emesa mint. 2....
It's great to have you around, vlaha. Whatever happened to Windchild? Did he just lose interest?
I feel exactly the same way, Chris. So it's really impossible for me to participate in this thread in any sort of meaningful way. There is no...
I probably acquired about 150 coins this year, and I'll probably post a "top ten" list, but I measure my success in the hobby by the friendships...
None of them look right to me, but pics can be deceiving. The first step in determining the authenticity of a coin is to measure it: weight and...
