I love toning, but like Butt-Head would say, "Umm, no." One could get a really rare ancient, like Eugenius or Constantine III for that.
I would avoid it. Go with your gut, especially for a hefty purchase. It could be perfectly innocent. Young people especially prefer cashApp,...
While she (on the OP coin) is no Southern U. Dancing Doll, to be fair, the husband isn't any looker. I always thought that both Severina and that...
I'd pick the most expensive of the bunch and trade it for a commensurate ancient.
(Unless I missed it) There's also the opportunity buyer; buying if some rarity pops up or is in some coveted category.
Yes, I'd much rather have an ugly Jovinus or Sebastianus than an EF Hadrian (which I'd also like to have). Mine's a qualified answer; If the...

That's a nice Christmas cion!
Many thanks!
[ATTACH] I worked on my photography and got a clearer pic this morning. Circa 22 mm. (don't have a caliper) and 4.66g. I thought Caracalla at...
I thought it also looked strange, but I don't usually pipe up. It's too embarrassing to be wrong. I've noticed that some of those fakes have...
That was indeed very generous of my Saturn. I'm very grateful for the stately gift. It also scratches the itch for a modern. It's about the same...
That present is quite nice!
My new photography station and a discovery of something I was doing wrong in the manual photography settings yielded some dramatic improvments;...
