Actually, I was pleased in the prices I paid for each of my Quincunx. But, LOL, it is comical with some of these anonymous “provenances”. I believe that I have narrowed whom they are. I have it narrowed down to their last names ending in -ski...
That's about right! I'd have to check the coin in hand to be sure of the exact number. Well, probably not even then - some are partial dots, hard to know how to count them. Lotsa dots anyway. Triptolemos spreading seeds is a good theme for dots.
Fun inadvertent thread! This pair of ancient artifacts has 42 encircled dots, and nothing else .............. Roman bone dice. 1st Century A.D. 5/16 inch. Found in the area around Jerusalem.
Don't forget the candy for the fun! Etruria or Umbria Aes Grave 3rd C BCE Sextans 23mm 25.15g Club - 2 Dots HN 54 Vecchi-Th 172
Where are the Dots? Or the Error? Lots of Bankers Marks on those Jugate Heads... but I am not seeing the Error or Dots?
Do the dotted beard, or the dots in Victory's wreath count? Septimius Severus AR Denarius 194 - 195 A.D., Emesa Mint 3.47g, 17.5mm, 6H Obverse: IMP CAE L SEP SEV PERT AVG COS II, Head of Septimius Severus, laureate, right Reverse: VICTOR AVG, Victory, winged, draped, advancing left, holding wreath in extended right hand and palm sloped over left shoulder in left hand Provenance: Ex. Doug Smith Collection, Ex. John Anthony 2019 Reference: RIC IV Septimius Severus 425
In this misbegotten thread, I think you'd have to go very far off-topic to be off-topic! So sure, yours counts.
Ironically this thread got more traction than my two “ancient errors” threads... but hey I loved seeing the enthusiasm!
I guess maybe off center? Not egregious enough to warrant attention; come back when you’re 50-80% off center!
