Those are three fantastic coins. I regret not owning them any longer. They are really terrific. - I now have a better Crepereia with a great...
I thought I posted a reply but it disappeared into the ether. Here goes again. My answer was to the question "which scholars" think the 480 issue...
MBA (Henley, 1995). Career in commerce in oil sector, most recent period in acquisitions and divestments. I was aware of the study you linked to...
Thanks for the nice words. So far as I'm aware, CNG is the only company that starts at 60% in a world of maybe 50 active auction houses. I...
Odd for this day and age, the only shareable copy I have is an offprint given me by Ted. I don't know where it physically is, as my system isn't...
My Crawford 56/1 [sic] dupondius [sic]. [img] Ex 1923 hoard, Platt Hall, Hersh and RBW collections.

Thanks Nick, also to Jay. I don't expect to be posting much but will lurk so I can reply from time to time. I've also resumed service on a couple...

I'm kinda interested in early Roman coins. Sometimes I write stuff about them. But Anglo Saxon pennies before 1066 are also nice though expensive...
Old tech. 1980s computers. Soviet airliners (and flying in them). Unfashionable 1980s mechanical watches. Early mobile phones. Bonus points if the...
