I somehow or another got sucked into Indian coins - probably because of how gosh darned affordable they are! I have a 2" binder smack full of...
Stunning! I one day dream of owning one of these - but alas the budget is spread far too thin! I can at least offer this AR Shapur [ATTACH]...
Ironically, you could probably get all your money back and then some if you turn around and just list it on ebay. Did that several times,...
Beautiful coins! I guess it's not -so- surprising that the best early imperial portraiture comes from a former center of Hellenistic culture -...

The P in TR P stands for POtestas - so maybe someone who knew the language but was unfamiliar with how the abbreviations worked, 20 years after...
No sestertii of Valerian, but this is my best portrait of his; shame about the reverse - I have been hunting a better one, but fine style + crisp...
I've got enough for 1-2 good sales left, and then I'm honestly probably tapping out. Between rising buyers fees, more competition to get sale...
I'm not too surprised about the Flavian denarii, but there is no shortage of mint state Gordian IIIs - the OP example is exemplary, but IMO, a...
Fun! Unlikely you are going to find much silver, if any, but there's a decent chance you could take together some decent exchange value....
Nice score! What a beautifully colored sestertius! Most often, when I miss a coin, I don't see it again. The only one that comes to mind is this...
