Yeah, I see now. Ok, I will shut up now and not to further derail the thread. lol
Got it!! Thanks. Just starting to warm up posting here again. I haven't posted here in about a year besides lately.
That's not what I mean at all, with all due respect. From the original post which was made by Doug, he quotes various people there from another...
I'm confused. Where are those reference quotes coming from and what post? I'm not seeing those here. My Roman Provincial and Greek collection is...
That's definitely a nice gift for sure. I'd also flip some of those and that way they can also read about the coin.
She emailed me back with some more information. [ATTACH] It looks similar but the bottom of the bust looks different on this coin than my coin....
I think it's good to own a fake or two and that way you can study them in hand. I know a few serious collectors that have what they call a "black...

The longest Roman Imperial ruler run that I have is 10, mostly from the Tetrarchy era. I've been collecting Roman Imperial rulers for almost 5...

It might also be ES M A ANTONIN(VS), short for. IMP CAES M AVR ANTONINVS
On the obverse legend there is ANTONIN Which is short for ANTΩNINOC. So, it's not Trajan Decius or Philip I or II. Starting with Antoninius Pius...
I found a post where Helvetica who runs Wildwinds said that she has the book as well as the missing pages that most of the PDF downloads suffer...
That's some good search work there. Thank you. von Fritze is an author of a series of books and one for Pergamon, Mysia so it's possible that the...
I was also looking at this dealer's other ancient coin listings. Here is a lot of Greek coins that have been very harshly cleaned and ruined as...
Yeah, I really like the Vabalathus/Aurelian coin and the Postumus as well. Greeks and Roman Provincial coins take a lot of study and time to...
That single coin looks to be a very crude barbarous imitation example of Tetricus I. The reverse is a standing figure probably Salus or Spes with...
