This is what I do. I only write what's pertinent to the coin in the document alongside the attribution. For example, for a Constantine Sol...
That's fair, and probably the reality for the bulk of my collection too if I was to take an inventory. However, I think it's sensible to not allow...
I consider my entire ancient coin capital as spent on a hobby that provides joy, akin to my gym membership fee that I will never get back....
[ATTACH] I've only bought from Marc Breitsprecher once and it was a great experience. I was very impressed with how quick it arrived across the...
Thank you, it wasn't a coin on my "want" list. However as soon as I saw it, it was added. It actually has some very nice subtle silvering in hand too.
When trying to purchase this coin on eBay, it was probably the most aggressive I have ever been with my bids and I ended up winning at £46. I...
I can't afford a proper Tetrarchs Sacrificing Argenteus. I got this one from eBay for £20 instead. My opinion on rarity vs grade varies from day...
Licinius I: None of his reverses are compelling enough. Geta, Phillip II, Salonius, probably a bunch more children: Again, I opted to buy their...
Constantius II side profile Solidus where he's got a nice mullet going on. I've yet to break the £120 barrier on a coin so I am unsure if this...
I think the line across the beard is a mistake. It seems too deep a cut to be an engraver aid, especially when compared to the circle aids used...
I'd say reading about Elagabalus can be pretty hilarious sometimes, probably the most of any emperor. His sexual exploits are included in this,...
Yep, that "IMP" is brutal.
66k is pretty good here. For reference, a registered nurse with a decade of experience makes about half of that.
Beautiful coin, it actually reminded me of Augustus Prima Porta statue, which I now recall has a reclining Tellus at the bottom of the...
A few random questions: What was the first "Personification reclining coin". The coins that spring to mind are Hadrian's travel series coins of...
My latest purchase from CGB website, which had a 20% off compared to the MA-Shops listing. It was around £50. I wanted a Constantine Eyes to...
This has happened to me twice before with N&N collection and Lodge Antiquities! Both thankfully resurfaced after lengthy absences.
Beautiful coin. Pius portraits are always very nice! As for the emperor, I think Antoninus' peace is over rated. Not checking the Germans...
I have never owned a sand patina coin due to the epidemic of artificial patination being revealed to me on this forum. I wouldn't have an issue...
I think for the Capta coin I want it explicitly tied to the siege, preferably having the word IVDAEA on it somewhere. I am aware that this will...
