Nice one, ominus1! I'd like to land an example someday. All I have is a quinarius with centering and other issues. This is one of my favorite...
Huh, never heard of the full moon o' thunder - interesting. And so I learn something new everyday. A couple of recent additions, Greek & Roman...
Now I have goat fever (er, not to be confused with COVID-19, I hope). Two more, from Macedon: Goats kneeling (or "recumbent"): [ATTACH]...
Nice ecus, everybody. Here are a couple of them that wound up in Berne Switzerland c. 1816 to get counterstamped as 40 Batzen pieces - they also...
Great site, Valentinian. Thanks for sharing. I have some Trajan "historic" types. Here are two of them: This dupondius is somewhat unusual...
Welcome to Coin Talk, CoinZimm. Not an expert, but I'd agree with others have said, it probably just had an enthusiastic cleaning, rather than...
Some really nice coins in this thread. I don't really actively pursue Alexandrian tets, but whenever I get one I find myself liking them more and...

I am sorry to hear the bad news, bcuda. Best wishes to your daughter and the rest of your family. Here's my latest Salus, which somebody may...

I've got one where the baby's head fell off: [ATTACH]
Interesting write-up and some great coins too. I have a pitted-out Geta as with the Britannia reverse: [ATTACH] Geta Æ As (210-212 A.D.)...
There is a terrific article on the Trebonianus Gallus statue at the Met - it includes circumstances of its find, and how it was made, and which...
Great write-up and coins, Kevin. This gives me an excuse to post one I just got - the obverse shows Perseus, but I notice some sources say that...
