[QUOTE="dadams, post: 3318820, member: 82194"][FONT=Times New Roman]Thanks for all the comments. I really just wanted to show them off since you all are the only ones I know who'd appreciate them. ;) The portrait on the Claudius is really what attracted me to this coin! I'll see what I might me able to learn about the Rhodes coin as I don't know much about it myself at this point. I don't make many shows but the few I've been to I have been able to meet with many of the same dealers and they are beginning to recognize me. Even if I didn't buy anything the conversation, like you say, would be worth the trip. :woot: You and me both! Some nice coins hiding in those baggies and obviously I couldn't resist bringing home a few. From what I know Allen has a stellar reputation in numismatics and I'd certainly recommend him as well. I also picked up a couple of coins from the [URL='http://bermania.org/']Kingdom of Bermania[/URL] Sorry I missed you this time around, but looks like you did well also. I like your RR denarii, but I'd be way out of my league trying to guess what the undertype might be on the one. I too had lots of fun looking at and fondling coins I'll probably never get to own.
