Nice piece! I believe that's the last of the sterling (.925) British shillings. Over the years I've accumulated quite a few jewelry pieces,...
Just in from eBay Europe, my first piece of ancient coin jewelry. A Constantine I (the Great) AE 18 with a VOT XX reverse mounted in a silver (?)...
I've always liked European crowns of the Latin Monetary Union standard - 25 grams of .900 silver. These would be mostly from France, Italy,...
For what it's worth, I think the cleaned version looks better. I'm not seeing "fake" so much as "cleaned." Nice job.
Mania, ancient coins. Yep, I know all about that. As for the Dioscuri, here's just the hats: [ATTACH] Indo-Greek K. Æ Quadruple...
I agree, nice collection and case - that will be a lot of fun attributing.
That is indeed a lovely portrait of Isis. Here's my not-so-lovely Svoronos 1234, a poster coin for partially-weakly struck: [ATTACH] Ptolemy V...
Interesting and informative FF as always, RC. Here is my Cybele (with lion) denarius of Faustina II: [ATTACH] Faustina II...
Beautiful coins in this thread. But let us not forget the Byzantine issues from Sicily. Here are a couple of beauties from the 7th century...

A very nice job on an interesting coin. Köpfchen! I learn a word every day.
Thank you for the informative write-up. Any excuse to post my only Caracalla sestertius - Asclepius and Telesphorus on the reverse: [ATTACH]...
I am impressed! Nice work.
Thanks Donna - I like a fresh set of eyes on this low-grade stuff - it can really help. I think the tail on mine is skinnier than a wolf tail? I...
Thanks Ryro - I was thinking along the same lines, but my "lion" has a droopy tail and is just standing there. The Lysimachos has a more active cat.
Just got in a small batch of six low-grade Greek AEs that have been a lot of fun attributing, at least five of them were fun. The sixth one has...
Not sure this counts, but here is Silenus, or rather just the back of his head. I'm sure somebody out there has one with better centering....
Just came in the mail yesterday - my first and possibly only Caracalla sestertius. These don't come along in my price range very often. This...
