It's a nice coin. Common, but very nice. The question is whether it's worth the amount of money you paid for the coin you didn't receive.
You guys know that the more you beg to have that thread removed, the longer Doug will leave it up there, right? Lol.
I think your assessment is correct - it's the right leg/paw of the she-wolf. The reason I question the provenance is that Doug doesn't recognize...
I get nervous when some of y'all get into fisticuffs about politics. I have a lot of friends here, some that I've been talking to for years, and I...
It's a great coin, but are you sure it's from Doug Smith's collection? Do you still have the insert that came with it?
I wonder what the cutoff date is for NGC's "Details" designation? If you send them a follis of Constantine which has surely been cleaned, they'll...
I don't know if anyone's done an analysis of the distribution of 12 and 16 nummi coins, but for research purposes, I can refer you to the ANS...
There is a lesson here for new collectors: spend LOTS of time just looking at coins, especially the ones you are interested in collecting. Use all...
Nice work! I suppose this is a good time to post my mint set of 2-soldiers-2-standards issues of Constans. Why did I collect such a thing? This...

A heartfelt THANK YOU to my Secret Santa - I know your name from the package and letter, but I'm not sure what your handle is here at CT, so I...
There are some very fine dealers on vcoins that wouldn't be able to take a good photo of a coin if you held a gun to their head, lol.
Ah ok, I see your point. I'd still like to see the onbverse from a few different angles.
Also, the seller says it has a dark green patina, so the image is not color-correct. It's probably better not make any judgment on the fabric from...
Lovely patina on those coins!
I think I saw 7 and 8 in an exhibit at MOMA.
You don't have to convince me - I'm very attracted to imitative and unofficial issues. The coin is indeed very alluring. But I would want the...
Magnificent coin and great photograph! In my opinion a little post-processing to make the image as accurate as possible is perfectly acceptable.
If the beard is tooled, I don't think it's egregious by any means. It doesn't look radically different from the Banti specimen. But to PeteB's...
