Nice coins. Architectural types are very appealing, although I don't have many, as they tend to attract bidders who are more aggressive than I...
Nice acquisition, Bing. As for duplicates, in ancients I think this makes a lot of sense - since the dies were all handmade, each specimen is...
I have recently encountered the exact same problem, eparch. Ariarathes IV or V (and thanks for the debate info, NewStyleKing). Below is my new...
Thanks, Sulla80. I was kind of thinking Kushan too - as you note, it's too small for a tet, but I wasn't sure if it might be some tiny AE "unit"...
I am in a demographic sweet spot for Sesame Street - aged about 6 when the first season came out - instantly became a big fan. Since then I...
Thanks for that tip - I'd never heard of Mendes and looking over some images online there is a definite resemblance to the donkey/ass that figured...
Does anybody have any idea what this is? It came in a small lot of Greek AEs, most from Macedonia. I can't even tell what kind of animal it is....
Nice new additions, Doug. It so happens I just got a Tiberius as with the odd XXXIIX date - it was an earlier post of yours that helped me figure...
One of my favorite deities. Here's my only Julia Domna Pudicitia - worn, on a heart-shaped flan: [ATTACH] Julia Domna Denarius...
Nice cleaning job, Inspector43. I admire your patience and perseverance. I think this one has the plain shield - no gorgons, horsemen, etc. As...
I had a similar confusing situation. I got a really low-grade Germanicus as from an eBay lot and I figured it was issued by Caligula, but the...
Well played, RC. And a lovely coin too. This is exactly why I like getting unattributed coins rather than ones pre-figured out. I've never...
Great write-up RC. I did not know that about Venus and doves. I do have a coin - the reverse is a bit clogged up with patina, but I'm fond of...
Nice acquisition, ominus1! I have two of these, and yours is better than both. This is one of those instances when keeping a duplicate seems to...
I'm no expert, but the OP looks legit to me. I have two of these, with problems. I think they are both KM 310 with the shorter truncation. As...
I am so old, I remember when Chinese junk and "Fat Man" dollars used to sell at melt. They were minted by the millions. With the economic...
An interesting discussion. I had a funny coin shop experience 30+ years ago when I was in college. Back then I was going through a punk rock/New...
Nice catch! No expert here, but I'd say it is authentic. A good start to a Macedonian collection. I have a "thunderbolt" type as well -...
Nice pickups Claudivs - I was eyeing that Valerian. Virtually everything I buy is inexpensive - the "bargains" keep my budget fully occupied....
I just got another priests-plowing-with-oxen type with a countermark, so I thought I'd pull up this old thread. My new one was struck for...
