About Me:

FOR LEGAL PURPOSES: None of my (Mr. Gary S. Dykes) grading estimations, concerning coins I sell or advertise, are the final appraisals. Each represents my opinion(s), nor do my opinions reflect any of the owners' or caretakers' personal validations or opinions (i.e. by "owners or caretakers"  is meant  the owner(s) or caretakers of this web/auction site:

Gary S. Dykes  -- AKA GSDykes

 Retired. Ex Army ranger, ex-DI at Fort Lewis. Happily married and quietly living near the ocean. Am a Christian, as is my wife. Formerly lived in Tennessee, and usually in California (especially Idyllwild). Along with Biblical studies, I also enjoy the HOBBY of coin collecting and numismatics in general. To me it is a hobby, not a business venture, nor some sort of speculative form of investment. I hope you too, enjoy this wonderful hobby. And be careful not to allow coins of any types to become some sort of idol in your life! Keep it as a fun hobby, relaxing and educational, as well as of historic value.

The image of Constantine I (seen on some ancient coins), IS the image of this emperor, a picture preserved for over 1700 years!  I could go on and on and extol the virtues and historic values, but I will leave you to probe deeper into the adventures of coin collecting, on your own.
