I just got a similar one of these this month - mine has the simpler one-line legend to the right without a magistrate: [ATTACH] It is very...
Nice job. An interesting type for Commodus as well.
Off-center ancients don't bother me at all, thought I don't know why this is. Porous flans bother me much more. But off-center coins just look...
I think I saw the OP on eBay. Not an expert, but it looked legit to me - I wasn't crazy about the surfaces, but otherwise it looked good.
An interesting discussion. Whenever this topic comes up I can't help myself and feel compelled to post this. It is a sestertius of Antoninus...
Happy birthday, Bing!
An interesting thread. I'd say half or more of the ancients I buy are unattributed off eBay. The challenge figuring them out, I've come to find,...
This seemed like an appropriate thread to toss out this lot of 13 AEs I got this week. Four of them are Roman Imperial, but the rest are...
Wow, that is a tough one to answer. In a pitiful effort to have something that is at least related to something on that spectacular list of...
There are others on CT that have far more informed guesses than I do, but I don't think that's Faustina - the reverse SC is too large. I'm...
Well thank you, RC. That's nice of you to say. Here's my "British Association" Faustina II RIC 1395: [IMG] Faustina II Æ As (c. 153-155...
Interesting batch of provincials you got there. Did you find out anything about that countermark on the Gordus Julia? I noticed Wildwinds has...
Lucky! I didn't even know he had a bricks-n-mortar store! It's just as well I was living far away in Ohio - I probably would've bankrupted...
That's a great-looking coin, Mat. Nobilitas is an interesting reverse type - a while back I was looking into it and came across this great FORVM...
I am resurrecting this great thread because it is a great thread and because I managed to snare an example of the OP. This is one of those...
Nice one, David. I notice you have "as" in the description under the photo - it is a dupondius though? The non-radiate dupondii tend to confuse...
Very informative thread. I do not have many Caracallas in my collection, but this frowny-face as appears to have a specific date of 213 A. D....
An impressive paper. Thank you for sharing it.
Great coin, robinjojo. Blackburn & Blackburn were my favorite mail-order dealer back in the '80s. I used to buy loads of cheap-o crowns off of...
Congrats, Orfew - that is a terrific-looking coin. I had no idea Domitian issued cistophorii. Not Domitian, but a temple did come my way...
