I will post the coin that got me seriously collecting ancients (I have it back into my collection too:kewl:



Hadrian

RIC 616







stainless

 

That coin looks familiar.

Phoenix

 

I've got many scattered notes from my various research that I have to organize, but I hope to definitely do an article on a couple of them one day.
You'll be the first one to read them:hail:

 

What do you mean the first? :goof: They never let him go so there can't be a second abduction until the first one is over.

Ribbit

 

they did and they left him here sigh

 

That's because you wouldn't part with any of your gold and they needed it to fuel their ship for the trip home, with the extra weight of Doug. :goof: So you are to blame for them leaving him behind! :mouth:

Ribbit

 

Ardatirion, still need another distraction?
This coin distracted the money out of my wallet.

Constantius II, AE Centenionalis, 350-355, Antioch.

Helmeted soldier standing left, shield on left arm, spearing fallen horseman, shield on ground at right, horseman is diademed and bearded and falls forward over neck of horse.
21-23mm, 4.74g
RIC VIII, 135

 

tenacious - beautiful AND interesting. Great piece! :thumb:

 

Great stuff, guys! I really appreciate it. These tiny diversions are just the right size to help me keep my sanity.

Howabout another?

Philip I
Antioch, Syria
AR tetradrachm, 249 AD
laureate, draped, cuirassed bust r.
eagle standing r. with wreath in beak
SNG Copenhagen 269

 

I can see now that I'm going to have to get me a "gold" ancient

 

well if they only had saif it in english. i think GD broke their translator on purpose :whistle:

 

Silvereagle, that is a beautiful Gold Noble that you showed us. Is that Edward III or IVth?

Ardatirion, here is some more distraction for you. A Domitian dupondius celebrating the Ludi Saeculares, and a dupondius of Titus (i think my best preserved roman coin).

Regards,
Eduard

 

Those Domitian and Titus are great looking coins.

Something very different now : a king of France Charles X, 2 francs, 1826 L (Bayonne mint), my rarest modern coin so far (25 000+ minted, but only 4 examples recorded to date)

Cucumbor

 

I doubt it would've mattered what language they spoke in. :goof:

I think even Doug will agree with me on this one! :mouth: And you know it's rare that we agree on anything but it seems that out of the 1% that we agree on, 90% of the time it's about you! :whistle:

Ribbit

 

here you go
Jazzcoins Joe

 

no face value, so you have to do some talking to spend it..
