This is a great post, @Curtisimo , thank you. I think I'll use it as a reference to my own example (which I have posted too many times on this...
Glad you got the attribution right:) Perhaps a little less intriguing than the "Dionysiac artists", but still a nice coin. I've never seen the...
Do you know if that was the other way around too? I've seen a couple of coins like this in the name of Constantius II, with a portrait that looked...
Me too. Seriously. I imagine that a Liberalitas would demand the prescence of the emperor. After all, which CEO would accept some local employee...
Nice gift and good kids! I have little knowledge on Sasanid coins, but here is a good website: http://grifterrec.rasmir.com/sasania/sasanian.html...
Really beautiful coin. Same issue as in the OP, by the way. But no die match, apparently.
I'm not. I don't see why they would approach the die cutting making a face resembling a man completely unrelated to Gordian III instead of his...
I think it’s a good Fine, and I agree about the eye appeal. Good portrait.
I think I finally found something here:...
It is of course tempting to say "yes", but neither Gordian I or Gordian II issued antoninanii, to my knowledge. It is of course a possibility that...
I agree it has the looks of both Gordians I and II, and Balbinus. I was aiming at the looks of the father, on your fathers day thread:) (I don't...
I usually find coins from the early-mid 200s quite ho-hum, and until today, it must be 10 years since I bought a coin from the period. I even...
Happy Father's day to you guys over there! I've already had Father's day this year, and it went along quite unremarkable:) More remarkable is...
Does not look good. Here's a real one. Look at the details, like the hair: [IMG]
I'm not able to find anything yet, but I agree the style looks like Pontos or Northern Greece, from 2nd-1st century BC.
Nice one! A common, but still very interesting issue. Here's mine, with text: [IMG] Obverse: M·FOVRI·L·F: Laureate head of Janus, around,...
Considering the quality of the material you post, you might want to up your conservation game a little bit (?) :) I have very good experience...
Then you be the judge, @Pickin and Grinin [IMG]
I agree with the fascination for the zeppelins! When it comes to grades, I don't worry if it's 64 or 65, I just have to like the coin. The rupie,...
Very nice. Congratulations!
