Interested to read up on a hoard of 255 Carthaginian coins published by Catharine Lorber in Coin Hoards 9.

Thank you.

I referred to the state of my collection as modest since it had a relatively low number of coins. But the keen eye of the collector is pleased! Meepzorp, a wonderful and uncommon 1/16 shekel with towers, I just recently auctioned the identical one, so it's likely going to be another week or two before I show it out.

Hi Joe and folks,

This is getting ridiculous. Lately, it has been happening every day.

Kent made it so obvious that he (or "it") is a spammer. He/it simply copied text from a different topic (Robert's topic regarding Phoenician coins) in this section of Forum.

Notice to all Forum members: If you see an odd or strange post, especially from a new Forum member, please report it to Joe and/or the moderators.

We have always had a lot of these SPAM posts. What they want is to add a link. More links makes a higher google search result. The only thing that has changed is they are being more amusing with what they write. In the past I have just deleted them and they usually lasted only minutes or hours. These last three SPAM posts I saved because they are a little bit fun to read.

It also looks like AI. My experiments with AI have resulted is mostly stuff that reminds me of the non-native English speaker writing articles designed only for key words back in the day. Of course, it could also be non-AI from someone in another country hired to spam Forums.

UPDATE - The issue is now moot as the relevant paper is in hand, courtesy of its author. This entire thread can be removed if it will help at all to end a spam episode.
