well, the place that I usually go (online) to buy these coins and artifacts is going out of business! on one hand, this sucks, because they are one of the best stores online for ancient coins around. However, every gray cloud has a silver lining - this time in the form of a going out of business sale!

Capitalizing on this bounty, I purchased a lot of 65 uncleaned coins, and a coin of the Emperor Julian the Apostate. the coin of Julian is great, as are a couple from the lot of 65. Overall, a pretty good buy!

Alright, I finally broke down and bought some Ancient Artifacts and Coins. I got a Parthian arrowhead, a bronze Roman arrowhead, a beginners kit on cleaning coins (complete with five uncleaned coins) and a Roman commemorative coin.
