I would pick coins over McDonald's any day! Very nice additions.. those are quality coins that would fit in any collection. I will add a my own Licinius from Heraclea.. which is probably one of the weirdest coins I own. This portrait featuring the fisheye, fish mouth and crazy beard is so ugly that I find it sort of spectacular. But you can't account for taste...
I've got a fun fish-face as well. Heraclea must have loved their piscis. I got this from a Frank Robinson lot for $6.23.
Your photography skills are growing rapidly. Re, your Elagabalus: "Bronze AE" is redundant, since AE means bronze. The coin looks like a denarius. If it is bronze, then it is what is usually called a "limes denarius", a sort of emergency issue used for trade around the border areas of the empire.
Looks like provincial bronze of Markianopolis, approx 18mm. Not sure if these are considered denarii though
I always enjoy seeing the obese Emperors who always ate high on the hog! Does anyone know who the most obese Emperor was & if so, did he make it to a coin that fit?
@Mammothtooth.......Nice pick ups....Particularly like the Licinius, it has good detail. I have a soft spot for this Emperor as his was my first ever purchase of an ancient coin many Lics ago.....
