And one more lol

 

All great!

 

Thanks guys. Fairly new to the game and learning plenty. Novice here ....

 

Not a problem. If you have any questions, one of us will be happy to answer.

 

it's better to stitch your pics together like this--




and you should include attributions if you know them and if you don't know; you should try to figure them out.


here is one of mine with the description

Mat thanks, I was wondering who was on the first one pictured.

 

That's what I thought it was a maximinius I had it in the coin flip long ago I have not looked at any of these in quite a while. I have quite a few more I'll be researching this one first off

 

I believe the second one I had pictured would beAlexandria, Probus, Tetradrachm.

Please correct me if I'm wrong

 

Something like this one:-

Probus, Billon tetradrachm, Alexandria, Year 3, Eagle right (palm)
Obv:- A K M AVP PR-OBOC CEB, Laureate, cuirassed bust right
Rev:- None, Eagle standing right, palm on wing, wreath in beak
Minted in Alexandria, Egypt. L in left field, Gamma in right field. Year 3. 277 - 278 A.D.
Milne 4564. Emmett 3981(3) R1. Curtis 1854. BMC 2439

 

Also curious how I arrange my photos left to right like Victor Clark has shown

 

There are lods of photo joining tools online.

 

An Alexandrian tetradrachm of Gallienus, dated 11th year (264/5 AD). The style is completely different.

 

Me too for ancients, especially (not an authority on U.S. coins, but I know more about them than ancients). I don't think I've advanced to the "novice" stage yet, but I'm learning, lol. There is a wealth of information on here, and I'm trying to learn as much as I can, as I know you are too. Just keep on searching!

 

Hmm. Not sure why my image above is not displaying correctly.

I have a gallery of my collection of Probus coins from Alexandria here, which is useful as a starter for the more common versions of these coins. I am in the process of updating the photos as many of them are quite dated now. It contains most of the major types. I am missing the emperor on horseback reverse, which still eludes me.

I have used most of the standard references.

The Probus above is Milne 4564:-

which differs from Milne 4562 and 4563 due to the obverse legend break
