Indeed! I can't tell you how many times Coin Talkers have helped me out with attributions - dozens at least. This is such a great place....
Thank you so very much, ambrOzie and Curtis. I do believe you guys nailed it. So, a moment of venting here: why in the world was I having so...
A very interesting discussion. Ancient rarities come my way from time to time, always by accident. Here is a Flavian I could not find another...
Commodus is one of my favorite collecting areas, and I just got my first dupondius - a denomination that seems a bit scarce for this emperor, at...
A while back I posted some info I dug up on these Philip Victory types - RIC 51 in particular....

Really nice tets in this thread. I have only AEs. They look a lot like the OP...except they are bronze and really cruddy: [ATTACH] Maroneia,...
