I've got MacDonald's book on these at home so I can look tonight, but at first glance it looks to me like a very worn standard young satyr...
Have you guys seen the Athens Dekadrachm in the new Triton X catalog? [img] http://www.cngcoins.com/Bid.aspx?ITEM_ID=96643# est. $300,000 and...
I too would like a nice "Shekel of Tyre" someday. You can get lots of Late Roman Bronzes for $50 or less, but it's also easy to spend hundreds on...
The sites mentioned so far are great, Ancients.info is another great forum with a little more laid back atmosphere than Forvm has for the most...

Didn't the GAO say we'd save like 500 million by switching from the paper dollar to the coin dollar? If they won't do that they likely won't do...
No idea really, but would it have to do with when dimes were silver? Maybe that was about 10 cents worth od silver?
The obverse could be Constantius II, but it could be someone a bit later too. When you get to late Roman coins many of the portraits begin to...
It was two years, I guess they changed it to five???
That's because of the Lincoln - Illinois connection, or so I was told. I believe most other places don't take them.
Haven't been able to find any images online yet. Here's a list of the coins by year, in case anyone's interested... 2007 1. George Washington,...
