Figuring out Alexander-type drachms can be difficult. I use a Google Image search - Alexander drachm spear - this usually pulls up an auction,...
That is an impressive array of googly-eyed ancients! Very impressive. Along the same lines, I got in this Justinian I follis the other day....
Thanks for sharing your example, Romancollector. Yours is much nicer than a lot of them I saw online. The Bulgarian "pressed" look worried me,...
Not a die match, but there is a definite, unfortunate, family resemblance. Thanks for sharing this, Victor. Though it is not good news! :inpain:
Interesting post, as always, RC. I do not have an Aequitas for Trebonianus Gallus, but here is Felicitas: [ATTACH] Trebonianus Gallus...
The problem here is that I have never seen in person, or handled, a late Roman silver coin. So I really have no idea what I am dealing with here....
Wow! That is impressive research. Thank you for sharing this.
Welcome to Coin Talk, TIB93. I concur with the others - it looks genuine to me. As for the condition, it is a bit rough, but it has a lot going...
An interesting discussion - I like hearing different philosophies of grading and collecting. Back when I collected mostly world crowns, etc., I...
That OP is indeed lovely. I lucked into a Septimius Severus dupondius a while back on eBay, before I realized how rare they are. Even the blind...
Jochen, thank you so much for that thorough and informative reply. I will, as always, incorporate this information into my attribution. Best...

That's a great looking AE of Trajan. Not only does it showcase the fine workmanship of Trajan's coins, but it has really nice colors as well.
Thanks again, singig - I really appreciate the graphics. I'm feeling better and better about this coin. :)
Thanks Donna. I have more confidence in the obverse - I think my example has so much gunk (horn silver?) around the forehead, it might mask a...
Yeah, the reverse on mine is missing so much of the legend, I was not as confident about a die-match on the tails side.
Thank you, singig for the reassurance and the graphic - I appreciate it.
This was such a great Trajan thread I thought I'd revive it since I finally got a Trajan's Column denarius. Difficult to see :angelic:in this...
Pulling up this thread because I finally got one of those Bostra issues with Marsyas, my avatar. They don't seem to be especially rare, but I was...
Finally, an excuse to post this one - nothing special, but I love how time has rendered its colors: [ATTACH] Marcus Aurelius Æ 20...
