I don't think it's Antoninus Pius, I think it's Aelius and I found an obverse die match, but the OP coin seems heavily tooled and smoothed and...

This Decius reminds me of Franz Joseph [ATTACH]
I have issues in spotting fakes - before collecting ancient coins I would have said I don't like the overall look of the coin but I have seen...
The ones from Tyre are very interesting, I think I will look for one. My favorite Trajan coin is this one, especially since after losing one I...
Lots of interesting types for Trajan. Perhaps this one doesn't have anything outstanding but I liked the portrait, I had no Aequitas reverses and...

Tough question, @Roman Collector. Thank you for the interesting video. From my 7 Gallienus antoniniani, I like 3 the most. My latest acquisition,...
Good coins, @Orfew. I noticed the NBS auctions (NBS not NSB unless this is a joke I didn't catch :D) I especially like the Seleucis and Pieria...

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I posted my Rhodes hemidrachm on the "Follow the coin game" topic and I realized my attribution might be wrong. I...
Here is my only Carthage coin. Got it from a person without any knowledge in ancient coins, he had some but the attribution was comic. [ATTACH]...

I thought it was a singular mistake when I saw 4 on coins as IIII and not IV as learned in school, but I have quite a few examples to be just a...
Frankly, the only letters I instantly recognized are the ΤΟΥ on the reverse (Augustus) and I knew what it is after the busts. But what's funny is...
Congratulations! I like the Three graces coins the most. I think I will look for one too.
You're welcome! I remember seeing a similar coin in an auction - and in the same one I bought this one, with Rhoemetalces and queen Pythodoris ....
I think this is Augustus with Rhoemetalces, Thrace. https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/1/1718
