I thought I'd get a second set(s) of eyeballs on this before I called "error" on this. It is a worn Severus Alexander AE from Cappadocia,...
Usually I don't bid on a countermark unless I have some idea what it is. Unless it is going cheap. Then I buy it anyway. This one baffles me....

Slabs are something I mostly ignore when cruising the depths of eBay - I have nothing against them in general, but they always are priced out of...
Just got in a big, weird batch of Roman imperials with some odd-job provincials, Greek, etc. included. I am really having fun with the...

Commodus is one of my favorite collecting areas, and I just got my first dupondius - a denomination that seems a bit scarce for this emperor, at...
