I was worried about BD, given the lurid green color, but the green stuff is very hard, not powdery at all. Digging at it a bit, I was not able to...
Justinian with a dab of fossilized shaving gel. And a spill... [ATTACH]
Interesting post - I need to do more work on this one, however. All I can find at the moment are a couple of the peacocks: Faustina I: [ATTACH]...
That's a nice lot of ancients. Not an expert, but I'd agree that they look authentic.
Those are some great-looking sestertii, Curtisimo. I have an inferior version of your Marcus Aurelius: [ATTACH] Marcus Aurelius Æ Sestertius...
Just got a new one in, so I am resurrecting this Hercules Farnese thread, since this coin wasn't in any of the original posts. This new one is a...
