It's a dantesque collection.
Interesting themes.

 

very dantesque... LOL

 

@RAGNAROK

What means : "Naebody chaws me wi impunity" ?

 

"Nul ne me provoque impunément", a scottish motto in scots language.

 

I'll try to not provoke you, so
Are you Scottish ?

 

Welcome to the forum Slynop,
Some wonderful coins.

 

Thanks

 

Who knows... What do you want to know that for? Komz´a rez brezhoneg???

 

RK is from Alba. Is this the island where Napoleon was exiled?

 

Hopefully! (...a little bit of Saint Helena´s sun would not hurt me...)

 

Is there specifics ancients coins from Alba ?
Except Jessica Alba, obviously...

 

Only from 1124, Dauíd mac Maíl Choluim (King David I) to 1709, for the time being...

 

Since ya like Galba Denarii, I will change denomination to QUINarius:


RI GALBA AR Quinarius Lugdunum mint laureate r Victory globe stdng left 15mm 1.5g RIC 131 scarce

 

That a nice and rare one. I don't have a quinarius for now, but one day, maybe... ^^
I prefer Galba than Vitellius or Otho, and i prefer Otho than Vitellius.

I buy one or two coins per year, so i can wait. And sometimes, none for one or two years. Maybe one day i'll have the opportunity to have a quinarius like that with a high state.

 

Hello everyone,
I have a new one, a sister for CONCORDIA's Aquilia Severa.

IVLIA AQVILIA SEVERA AVG / LAETITIA
Weight :2,78 gr
References : RIC 229 / RSC 9a.

It's really a nice one, nicer than the picture.

 

While the Aquilia Severa is a very nice example, my mind keeps returning to the Galba, a type I have always wanted. Many of them seem to be in less fine silver than other coins of Galba. Is that true or just on the few I have encountered?

 

That's right, there is more Galba's coins in good shape than Aquilia severa's coins because you have less silver inside in this time. That's why a Aquilia severa coin with a high grade, when it's also well centered, is expensive, even if it's not a rare coin. Galba's coins are also expensive, but not for the same reasons.
