I see more than the average interest in more than half of these coins. Take care not to sell them off until you research them.
Not at all! Museums are attractions of the future but those of us who enjoy the past may not recognize their connection to the past. I see it...
This brings up the question of how much such a visit is worth. To me, Dumbarton Oaks is a nice place to visit if you are in town and have already...
I have been to Dumbarton Oaks in Washington D.C. and recall seeing coins included in their displays of Byzantine period materials. They have...
