[@oldschoolnateguy]

Thank you for the educational podcast guys. I’m new to the ancient coin collecting world. I have gone back and listened to all of your releases.

Hello Aaron and Mike . Another great stream always learning something new everytime I watched . Thank you for all the hard work and making it fun and cool to learn , I've been collecting for about 10 years now and still learning more history about the coins and era 👍🏾🌵😎

[@KZN9378]

It’s incredible how much educational content is being created by experts, especially in the Numismatics scene. Really appreciate what both of you guys are doing

Love the podcast, very insightful. Got myself a nice Legio VI Ferrata denarius for my birthday

[@alfredkowsky7374]

Another enjoyable pod cast 😊. I had to laugh at your comment "Legionary denarii would appeal to collectors of American coins" 😂. Collecting a modern series of American coins by date isn't much different than collecting Legionary denarii which all look alike except for the legion number. Collectors of Legionary denarii are clearly more interested in ancient history than the beauty & style of ancient coins.

[@coinman.ancient]

I was joking. Messing with Mike. Lol

Another great podcast. Thanks Aaron and Mike. You both never fail to deliver an interesting and insightful hour.

[@zpenland]

Another great show, thanks fellas!

Regarding US coins, Aaron just said what everyone was already thinking ;)

[@joshuaa2780]

Great show, slides were giving Mike a hard time lol. Supposedly, differences in the legionary lettering like "IIII" instead of "IV" comes from Greek Celators not always being familiar with the Latin numerical system.

Nice. One day I will get to the Marc Antony denari. Will to keep an eye on the HJB Buy or Bid sales.

Good episode. It might have been good to mention the Legionary (LEG VI) issued by Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus for the 200th anniversary of Actium. They are doubly cool because by then the abbreviations ANT AVG used on the originals would be confusing since ANT might be mistaken for Antoninus and AVG then meant Augustus rather than Augur. Spelling out those words made sense in the second century AD. Recently there have been an increasing number of fake legionaries so everyone might be advised to buy only from trusted sources but that goes for any coins and they may not listen.

Great podcast especially with the Marc Antony legionary denarius! I am amazed that there are so many varieties of them. Although I have a few myself, I certainly learned something today. Keep up the good work!

Buy Silver , Platinum , & Crystalized Osmium.

Thanks for the video. I was at your shop two weeks ago and saw Mike and Russ and Curtis. Love my new hat by the way. They're awesome hats!

[@coinman.ancient]

Thanks again for coming in!

[@TheMoneyInnovator]

Love it! I wonder if you'd do an educational bit on billon denarii? These seems to confuse me as it seems there are times when it should be silver but it's not or more debased than normal. There doesn't seem to be much clarity online.

[@nealpaul6476]

Great podcast series! I’ve heard each one, some multiple times. Questions …, can you please explain the Parliament Collection (hoard) of Athenean Owls? Recent 5 years-ish find. Where was it found and what is there to know about this find?

[@coinman.ancient]

Any where from 30-70k coins. Not all Athens. Included metapontum as well. Most likely found in Turkey. No one knows exactly more details then that and this is all picked up by multiple sources and opinions.

[@briank7936]

Im still catching up, but have you done a spot on how HJB does their attribution cards? What info should be on there, the order so it is uniform and does paper and type of ink matter?

[@LongLivedCoins]

🍯🐝🌻sweet!

It has been at least ten years since i've been to your store. I just don't Enjoy going to chicago anymore. Next time I do get out that way i will have Lou Malnati's bring you guys pizza and a beer. I owe it to you for all this great content.

[@coinman.ancient]

Thanks! I never turn down Chicago pizza!!!!

[@steve2256]

@@coinman.ancient It'll probably just be easier to send you a lou malnati's egift card so you can pick what you want and when you want it. I'm sending it to your email address now. I was a snotty teenager when I first became your customer and now i'm 65%-70٪ dead and you all have always done right by me. Accept this as a thanks.

[@steve2256]

​@aaronberk4568 I just sent you a lou malnati's e gift card to your hjb email address. It should be enough for 3 large pizzas. Please accept it with my thanks
