I would be interested in hearing your take on this, if you have the time?
Great coins, thank you for sharing :) The AE was a kind of emergency issue during the siege then?
Agreed. That’s the sound policy. As much as I like the Sear books, I see that I need literature that goes deeper into the areas that I want to dig...
Sweet coins as always, @NewStyleKing You don’t happen to have one of the coins minted by Sulla during the siege of Athens too? They say these...
Can you imagine what kind of source material that has created this disagreement, Victor? I take it you are on the «RIC-side» of the argument here....
That’s the question, Limes. Thank you for digging into it. Do we know anything about the original sources for citing mints at Lyons for the...
I agree with this. I have been thinking the same thing: What if I was to sell the coin, present the provenance but have another description than...
Thank you Limes! I was not able to find 20 samples on acsearch. I found 6-7, and some doubles, but as I got many irrelevant coins when searching,...
I don’t have the RIC books myself. The new edition is on the buying list. I refered to RIC online, which has Rome as mint for all the denarii from...
My position is that they have to be from the same mint. If that’s Rome, that’s fine. In that case nearly all of the sales of RIC 12 and most of...
Thank you for kind words, Ides! I’m not THAT disappointed in the auction houses, just a little surprised. A few illusions about the completeness...
Thank you again @Pellinore Islamic coins is a brand new area for me, as is Byzantine coins. It would be a shame as a coin collector, however, to...
Thank you. I find it rather disappointing, however, that we see this kind of mis-attribution from very serious auction houses, and that Seaby RSC,...
The OP coin made the set «complete», but it will be a work in progress as long as I collect coins. I want a Julius Caesar portrait denarius and a...
Thank you. My Caligula is a drachm, and a lot of the silver provincials are great. I like yours. With this set, however, I want to end up with all...
:D You're still able to come up with a coin relevant to every thread on the board, and that's impressive. I really like your Cistophoric...
That's a solid Claudius collection, @Mat I have always wanted the Cistophoric Tetradrachm. The one with Claudius and Agrippina is great too, and...
Thank you, Claudius! I felt really, really lucky to get it. I blew the very rest of my coin funds on it too, but it sold just within what I was...
I think so, Bing, but I can't confirm the mint, as RIC online identifies all the coins as Rome mint. Looking at the obverse legend, it seems like...
This is a rather long-winded article about buying a new coin. Hopefully it will be worth both writing and reading it. It is about: I, as in me, a...
