Just joined today and put a few posts in the area in which I will most likely be found most often - ancient and world coins. My name is Zach Beasley (although I often use my nickname "Beast") and I'm a full-time dealer in ancients and world coins, but specialize in ancients. Like the fellow forum member, Michael Marotta, I also write a column about the Internet and our hobby. I co-author "The Internet Connection" with Kevin Barry in the Celator magazine.
My personal collecting focus is on coins minted by the Roman emperor Probus, ancient coins with architecture, Late Roman coins from the Victoriae Laetae series (my research focus) and all coins with bears.
Outside of coins, I am an avid weightlifter and enjoy swimming and football. I'm 37, married, no kids yet, but we have two very needy cats. Here is Rocky:
He likes to think he rules the Empire
If you need help identifying a coin, let me know and hopefully I can point you in the right direction

Dang, he's got you trained. I have two monsters myself who like to walk on my desk and scritch on my lap while I'm working.
