Sometimes worn is better, particularly if there's story to tell. Much like people ;). This is a Sestertius from Claudius (41-50AD), EX S C OB...
I know what you mean, but presumably they didn't cost all that much. I don't understand the obsession with grading at all, so why not grade a good...
If it's to the UK from outside the EU, I believe you only pay anything for VAT if it's worth over £15 (5% I think), and import duty if it's worth...
Yes the British (and Gauls too) just did their own thing while the Romans were unwilling or unable to provide coins for everyday use (before and...
I got one from the same hoard. I don't think they'd even finished publishing them properly :facepalm:. Now I have a fair few London mint Roman...
Fair enough. Although if we're making a distinction between 'ordered a military campaign from inside the country' and 'ordered a military campaign...
I think that would come down to the definition of 'campaigned'. I don't think you have to be physically present to campaign. Antoninus had his...
I really like these. I would buy one if it fitted at all in my collection, and if, despite there being seemingly thousands of them, they weren't...
Antoninus Pius didn't ever go to Britain, but he campaigned there, and built the Antonine Wall north of Hadrian's. His campaign was commemorated...
I have a few of these (although most not quite 28mm), all from the London mint and most Genio Popvli Romani. I've gone into the 2nd Tetrarchy as...

Very much so! But a little less murky now, thank you!
Boars were very popular in Celtic Britain... Tasciovanus, 5BC-5AD, Van Arsdell 1796-01; SCBC 236
Great thanks, that looks exactly it. 303-305 - under Constantius Chlorus in the west while Galerius was caesar in the east?
Hi I was wondering if anyone could identify this coin with any confidence, and even tell if it's genuine. Maximian or Galerius, and if so, which...
Yes I was talking about 'past' auction prices being lower I.e. they are higher now. But I was asking because that is just my experience - I...
What makes you say the common trend over the last 10 years has been lower values? Whenever I look at past auction prices in the UK market they are...
Does anyone know where the mints were that struck the copper farthings for James I and Charles I? I have seen them described as 'non-provincial'....
