I just got a VIC GER that looks a lot like the VIC PAR series. This one is a sestertius for Marcus Aurelius. Funny how the Germans, the Dacians,...
T-Bone Liberalitas (not Libertas) sestertius. This one is kind of gruesome, but rather scarce: [ATTACH] Trebonianus Gallus Æ Sestertius (253...
Nice array of Treb. Gallus Libertas issues. My only one is a needle-nose RIC 70: [ATTACH] Trebonianus Gallus Antoninianus (251-253 A.D.)...
Thanks for the information, Jochen! I appreciate it.
Thank you for that interesting information. This coin came this way - I call it an "eBay Patina" :jawdrop: I've had it for a couple of years...
Awful is right! Soon after I got it I noticed it was getting sticky from the warmth in my hand. At that point I was pretty sure this wasn't...
Interesting coin and background history. Here is a Ptolemy VI (?) with a countermark - I am not real confident about my attribution - I think...
Nice pick-up hotwheelsearl. I too once had a blue Antoninus Pius sestertius - but it had been painted! I've shared this absurdity too many...
A very interesting coin! Here is something along the same lines that I picked up. This is a cut n' paste from a thread I started a while back:...
Another informative write-up - great coins too. Thank you Jochen. [ATTACH] Gordian III Æ 26 (c. 238-244 A.D.) Moesia Inferior, Marcianopolis...
Terrific write-up and stunning coin. I have no sestertii of Elagabalus, but I do have this as with the ADVENTVS reverse. In keeping with the...
It is a very good looking coin. This is not to say it is genuine - there are some scary fakes coming out of eastern Europe and some of them have...
Marsyas has to make the cut, of course. I mean, I'll take it personally otherwise :) But seriously, those are all very, very nice coins.
I do enjoy Faustina Friday. Great write up & coins, as always. Laetitia, I have but two, a denarius and a sestertius - my denarius attribution...
Nice group. This is the kind of coins I tend to collect. That Antoninus Pius 900th anniversary coin is interesting - I have the elephant...
Welcome to Coin Talk - those are some mighty fine Byzantines you got there. This gives me an excuse to share my most recent Byzantine, which...
Yeah - eBay unattributed or wrongly-attributed ancients have become one of my favorite "hunting grounds." You can get some real bargains that...
So an obverse die match? Now that I look over it again, I think you are right - thank you for noticing! Originally I thought the reverse...
Well, it ain't pretty, but I've wanted a Julia Domna Liberalitas denarius ever since I saw that they existed. So I am resurrecting this thread to...
I am reviving this thread because I finally got one of these Minerva Standing countermarks for Domitian. This is one I've been hankering for!...
