I have one that isn't barbarous... [ATTACH] Tetricus II Antoninianus, Cologne, 273-274. C PIV ESV TETRICVS CAES. SPES AVGG (RIC 270). This is...
Yes, although I think the scenario you've painted is precisely where Ancient counterfeits are easiest to detect. The inconsistency means if you...
I bought these for under $25 - the list would have been longer but the exchange rate has gone a little in my favour very recently. With the...
This is my first top ten. 2020 was a good year for coins if nothing else. I was trying to think of what else. ‘Working from home’ was about all I...
I have very few plants for some reason, but I do have: [ATTACH] AE16, Sicily, Carthaginian Domain, c330-320BC. 15mm, 2.47g. Palm tree. Pegasus...
I have a couple of London camp gates. There are so many Genio Pop Rom reverses from London these were very interesting! They seem to lack ambition...
Thank you for this. It helps demystify them a little more. They're certainly not easy to identify - it's like a Roman coin with each word of the...
Russian coins very often have obliquely milled edges, either diagonal or 'reticulated' (in a net pattern). Sweden and Russia share quite a bit of...
I believe it's similar with Carausius. He started off with just the one G, trying to establish himself as sole emperor of the Britannic Empire,...
No not really, it doesn't make it rare on its own. The bust direction may be unusual compared to his other issues, but that doesn't mean they...
When I started collecting Roman coins, I was impressed by how many I emperors knew. I can barely name a dozen British prime ministers, and I’ve...
It's always interesting when the Parthians meet the Romans! I can just about reach the end of the Parthians: [ATTACH] Vologases V Dichalkous,...
Thanks for the write up. You have a lot of great coins from this period. It's an interesting part of English history! William II was killed in...
I won a coin in the 3 November Tauler & Fau auction and received it exactly 2 weeks later. I'm in the UK, so it didn't have so far to travel, but...
Nice coins! I love this part of English history. I've posted mine a couple of times already, and written about some of them...
I got to the bottom and thought - where's the rest of them? But there are 10, it was just fun reading about them all. None are in my area of...
Yes I know the feeling. And wondering if I'll regret not going that bit further, or if I'll regret it if I do! For some reason, I never have any...
The question about panthers and leopards reminds me of a similar puzzle in heraldry over leopards and lions. A 'leopard' on a coat of arms is...
While looking to create my top 10 ancients list for this: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/it-is-about-that-time-to-start-thinking.370239/, I’ve...
Really helpful, thank you! I will bookmark it. I have a bit of a Parthian collection building and Persis is often the adjacent category in...
