Thanks a lot for the info, I learned something new about the minting circumstances in the Republican era!
Thank you very much! I understand now, while they're not "Legionary Issues", some coins like my Republican Valerius Flaccus were minted with the...
So I've been wondering something regarding coins of the late Roman Republic and Roman Imperial coins, is it safe to assume that coins that have...
Since these cash coins were casted, would it be possible there were old counterfeits from around the same era?
Yes, that is my opinion on SAFLIPS too! I'm starting to suspect those were Guardhouse flips that I preferred, thanks a lot. I'm not looking to...
Hmmm, thanks for the suggestions. I don't know how often people buy ancients from VCOIN dealers but most of the time, the coins I get from the...
