I haven't yet -- although I probably should while a few of the ones on my watchlist are still there. (By the time I started looking at them, all...
Another great post -- also, love that lineup of a dozen Cappadocian royal portraits!
One of my favorite numismatic themes: "Rarity" always depends on how we define the categories. I have a few coins that have been described as...
Tacitus is a real beauty! I remember when you posted it, great surfaces & portrait
Below, I've posted one of mine (but with a slightly later date) -- or two, depending who you believe. I like these ones for the portrait:...
I think yes, that is partly the case. I've seen it explained by four contributing factors: Yugoslavian Civil War(s), c. 1991-2001; the fall of the...
Nice coins from Turner coll, especially the Gratian (I think I may have watch listed that one at some point, or another of the same type). Quite...
What country is this from? It sounds like how they do it in Spain now, which had always worked out fine for me. (Though I've never heard that...
Ah, that would do it! (Or if you buy directly from your Watchlist.)
Those alerts also show at the top of each listing once you click on it, before you can add to cart (unless you do it from your watchlist). It's...
They are not suspicious in that sense. There shouldn't be anything wrong with paying the invoice by bank transfer, aside from the usual stuff....
Very interesting & enjoyable, as always, well worth reading. I tried both my phone and my laptop. Looks great, enlargements load well. On my...
Nice specimen with unusually clear rev. scene (usually the snake is hard to make out) & date! Cataloging coins in great detail & finding such...
No harm in that! I don't think I saw it the first time around, so it's new to me. I love the shield on the 2nd Philip from Nisibis! There don't...
For those interested in “object biography” and/or ancient coin provenance hunting, it is useful to see how others do it. I’ve tried to give enough...
Interesting theory about the Baalbek and the shrine. But note that the type you linked is a different building and doesn't have a reverse legend...
I don't have one -- but that is my favorite of the Septimius ADVENTVS types. Very interesting scene, a bit reminiscent of some of the Tarentum...
Actually, I often think ancient coin prices are too low! For one thing, they tend not to factor in a lot of "externalities" (mostly having to do...
Very good! I keep close track of any publication whatsoever of my coins, including "digital plate coins" (or "virtual plate coins" as Sulla called...
Good post and nice run of Denarii. Esty's page on this topic is also very useful. I referred to it several times when trying to figure something...
