That's a nice speech and lovely coin but the title has left me confused. "ADD YOUR PHOTOS - for a gem collected 25 years ago" What was collected...
That's a shockingly high price! Is that particular acsearch example just an anomaly? Hmm. I will certainly check this coin for BD today....
Looks like it. I don't recall if I treated it after this picture. I'll get it out and check.
I have one from a large mixed lot, [ATTACH] And another which was an inexplicable purchase at this year's WFOM. It was among a group of coins...
I have one which I don't think I've posted before. [ATTACH]

Wow, that is dramatic!
We could turn it into a betting pool. "How many posts before SteveX6 is tossed off Forvm?". While the site is certainly a valuable resource,...

The Alexandrian and Phoenicians are terrible. Horrible coins. You should buy better things. Don't ever buy another Alexandrian or Phoenician....
I started collecting ancients for the thrill of having miniature works of art from so long ago. An interest in the actual history developed soon...
That's one sweet serpent, Steve! Here's my best Markianopolis: [IMG] MOESIA INFERIOR. Markianopolis Macrinus, with Diadumenian, 217-218 AD...
