Thanks Doug, I was very interested in your take on this. I knew that when I had it narrowed down to the portrait being either Gallienus or...
Thanks! Yes, this is my first Byzantine overstrike, but definitely will not be my last. So interesting to try and piece these together.
I'm excited to share what is definitely the most interesting coin I've bought this year. It is an early 7th Century follis which I believe was...
Very nice...my favorite is the Fausta, great portrait.
Nice group! The Caracalla tet from Berytus is my favorite, but I like all 5.

The gift that I sent out was successfully delivered, but I am still waiting for mine to arrive. Hoping for a Saturnalia miracle in the mail today!

I don’t know much about coins from that era, but the Leopold “Hogmouth” is definitely my favorite...what a great coin. A couple of centuries...

I recently added this large bronze of Antiochus IV Epiphanes, the notorious Seleucid king. I thought it would be a good time to share this coin,...
Nice new pickups. Here is a Valerian with a Fides Militum reverse (they spelled it “MLITVM” here...probably not a great sign). [ATTACH]
26% is ridiculous...it amazes me that their consignors are willing to put up with that.
Wow, missed this post the first time around...these are great! The Lysimachus tet is just spectacular, your Syracuse tet is as well.
