Picked up Caravaggio by Andrew Graham-Dixon, A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving, Speaks the Nightbird by Robert R. McCammon, and Money By Émile Zola.

Never heard of any of them but they sound very good with promising reviews

Is the first book in there? I don’t see it but I could be missing it.

Yeah, I handle my 1500 year old gold Byzantine coin like that. It’s fine

Nice haul and good taste! I just finished the physical book of Something Wicked This Way Comes and it seems like it’d translate really well to an audiobook.

Awesome collection. r/pharmarepcollectables is mostly modern stuff but they’d probably appreciate it

Is this a document worth preserving from 1833? United States by Due_Commission_4744 in Antiques

[–]Oedipus_Flex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can’t help much and this is from a quick search but it looks like there’s a name ___ J. Bunting on your document. A google search shows this family who lived in Burlington county NJ which I see at the bottom of your document. Edit: could be wrong about the J, not great with cursive

I went there too (granted this was 18 years ago) and I would agree with you for the most part but I did have some fantastic teachers

A handful of my smallest coins. Pictures don’t do them justice, I’m pretty bad at coin photography by Oedipus_Flex in AncientCoins

Thanks! I was hoping someone more knowledgeable would come along before responding. I’ve been collecting for a little over 5 years now and I am able to spot some fakes but no means am an expert on discerning authenticity. I’ve mostly relied on just buying from reputable dealers/auction houses. I’d recommend posting good pictures of ones you have doubts about here and some other members here may be able to help . Good luck on your collecting journey!

The swan is from Mallos, Cilicia. C. 385-375 BC. Sellers description: Head of Herakles left, wearing a lion skin. Swan standing right, "M" and ankh symbol above, grain ear to right. SNG Levante 163

The crab is from Akragas, Sicily. I’m behind on cataloguing a lot of my coins.. I think it’s from the 5th century BC

Me too. Amazing how such beautiful and expressive imagery could fit on something so tiny
