Not sure I can be of much help here, but I've been buying a lot of unattributed Greeks off eBay and have recently come across two that are...
Nice one, lordmarcovan. I have a similar one, but countermarked. Countermarks tend to do horrible things to the host coin, so it is nice to see...
Nice one, lordmarcovan. That "broadstruck" aspect is interesting - thanks for the link because I didn't know what broadstruck was. I submit...
Those are nice specimens, Ancient Aussie. I really like those portraits. This Anchialus camp gate is in pretty bad condition, even by my low...
Nice one, lordmarcovan! I used to be quite the thaler fanatic and this one is one of my favorites. As you mentioned, they can be rather pricey,...
Nice looking coin. I knew that name rang a bell - last fall I got a lot of low-grade provincials in which one was, I think, from Stratonicaea,...
Lovely coins and an interesting thread. It made me look over my little collection of Roman Republics and I found a few snakes. A quinarius with...
Thank you all for you assistance with this coin! You are all great and I greatly appreciate your efforts. Indeed, as shanxi and others note, I...
Thank you TIF, I appreciate the effort. My library being what it is (isn't), I am ransacking acsearch and Google Image. And my Coin Talk support...
Thank you all for your help. I was amused when Alegandron said it reminded him of a Xoanon, as that is a word I did not think existed in our...
Thank you, Spaniard. It could be an amphora - one of those pointy ones. You can see what might be straps around it. Here it is, other-side-up:...
I just got this little Greek AE in a lot and I am having trouble even getting started, since I can't figure out what that is on the reverse....
It is good to hear others talk about these matters, and I thank you all for sharing. And thanks to robinjojo for getting the thread started....
These are truly beautiful coins, and at the risk of junking up the thread, I'm going to offer up one of my uglies. My justification for lowering...
Thank you, RC. The British Museum sure does have some pretty coins. But is that one veiled? I see a lot of hair/pearls but no veil? But these...
I like it - as you say, that portrait is very nice indeed. If the price was right, I'd jump on it. As for the wax and preservation issues, I...
Nice coin and write-up, RC. I've been using the "Beckmann System" for attributions, my only complaint being that it crowds my flips - only so...
From an unidentified "Roman?" eBay auction, I seem to have got my first ancient from Crete, a big one at 28 mm. A Crete for the cretin - which is...
Nice coins. This is one of my favorite worship scene from my collection - feeding the snake for good health. I think I'll hold out for the...
Lovely coin, lordmarcovan. A particularly expressive portrait puts this one in the top category, as far as I am concerned. I have a really...
