Neat! I enjoy the Ancient coin podcast, and I wasn't aware of the other one; I'll have to check that out. The fishy three bust early 4th century...
I guess I got remix and funbox mixed up. I was going over the list, wondering where the ancients were.
As some NF members pointed out and I believe he himself notes, grading ancients is a bit irrelevant, but it's a fun video. I would have graded...
