I find two kinds of errors with regularity. First are things I did wrong and should not have. Those I fix as soon as I can. Second are changes...
I only recently started recording diameters on coins I buy. No that we see mostly enlarged images online, that statistic is more important than...
If the coin is authentic (my negative opinion is worthless for several reasons including the fact I don't collect these and you can never trust a...
Confusing Libertas and Liberaitas is easy to do. It is even found on coins (usually unofficial) like this Severus Alenander with legend LIBERTAS...
Is their evidence that he was buried? Lost in swamp is not a death conducive to formal burial. More modern people value recovery of remains....
Sorry I did not see this thread before it went ugly. Maybe we should stop discussing prices since there is no real help knowing what another coin...
I doubt the die cutters and coin users of the day put nearly the importance into this that we do today. Most of these reverses were copied from...

A coin to watch for an opportunity to acquire is the large AE1 issued at the beginning of the reign. The size had been common under Julian II...
That most certainly is the question. Without the holes, they would be worth much more. With the holes, many collectors would not touch them so...
Peroz and most Sasanian kings issued coins from several mints. Your fuzzy photo makes it hard to say which yours is for sure but below is my AS...
That is a very nice one. I note that it has 1 o'clock axis. Is that standard for this new group? What other axes have we seen from the group?...
Julian as Caesar was beardless, styled like Constantius II and nominally Christian. The bull and Apostate came after he was Augustus. Centaur...
My way is much like TIF's but I suggest selecting a book you own for each major group and following that order figuring out where a coin would be...
This is exactly my point of view. I never have had any use for paintings made from photographs. If you are too good to have a photograph hanging...
Yes but when they wrote out the number ENATOV the L was regularly on the right. Why??? [ATTACH]
I wonder how many of that number has placed a bid or made contact in the last year/5 years. Contact figures changed with the Internet. In 1990,...
