Thanks for the move. I forgot we even had an Ancients forum, as little as I have reason to peruse it. My scale isn't accurate enough to get...
After browsing some emperors profiles, I'm guessing this could be Arcadius? If so, would this be a tresmissis? Or what other denominations of gold...
I'm cataloging an estate with a slew of Roman, Constantine, & Crusader coins, which are a bit outside of my usual focus. I recognized a few As...
Thanks. I'll check that out under the scope and see if it matches with better pics.
Yeah, they were rushing to make them and quality control apparently took a back seat to mass production. But, I like the die cracks as they make...

If you have any designs you particularly like, you can always get the 5oz 0.999 silver varieties. And play hockey down the road...
Anyone want to see the rest of the cull bin finds that day?
The lighting is terrible that way, and you can't see any of the lustre. But, sure. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I've always felt the same. Not because it lacks a cool story or artistic merit, but because the market has already fully factored that in. I...
Any thoughts on grade?
It looks plausible to me. For the value, this would be one of the few that I'd send in to get slabbed for an expert opinion in hand.
Somebody missed the mintmark on this coin when they put it in the "cull" tray at a local bullion dealer. I'm not sure what they saw to bump it...
