The one on the top left is similar to this one from Vimanacium, I believe. The obverse on yours might even me a die-match with mine? They look...
I'd love an expert diagnosis of my uglies. Thanks, Gary!
A most interesting thread. Pretty much guessing here...but since I'd just taken some new photos, I thought I'd throw them out. Faustina I...
Good to see other collectors accumulating duplicates - sometimes I feel a bit guilty about it, because I have a lot of duplicates. With ancients,...
I have a similar one - it was one of the first LRBs I ever got and I recall being very impressed by the bound captives on the reverse. If I got...
A very informative write-up Sulla80. I am saving this post to my permanent reference file for these. Here it is mine with my effort at...
Interesting coin, 7Calbrey. I have a Herennius Etruscus ploughing right from Rhesaena. Not sure if this helps, but I thought I'd toss it out...
eBay, but it doesn't happen like that very often. Which is just as well - I'd probably bankrupt myself on uglies.
Big Batches of Bronzes are pretty much my favorite thing and I like seeing all the wonderful, if a bit off-grade, things everybody finds. Here...
Crispina, Lucilla's sister-in-law, also issued IVNO LVCINA types. I recently picked up a dupondius and an as (denomination attributions based on...
Nice coin, Agricantus - I had an as with the horseman spearing the Dacian, but it was so worn, so pitted, that it was really, really hard to make...

There's been some enjoyable recent posts about lower grade coins, so I was inspired to share a couple of scruffy dupondii I just got on the cheap....
This is perhaps slightly off-topic, but speaking of big silver "wartime" Netherlands 2-1/2 guilders, one of my favorites is the one dated 1940....
Exceptional host coin for a countermark of this type. Most of mine are worn slick!
Sorry to hear about the bad news. Convincing crud has nipped me a couple times too. These situations can be very educational, so don't despair!...
Sorry about the link - there were other links giving similar info, so I was hoping my addition wouldn't further compromise the air of mystery!...
Interesting coin. I'm not sure the countermark in such instances were necessarily meant to deface the king's (or god's) image. Here are a few...
It so happens I just got an Alexander (posthumous) drachm this week. Every once in a while they go cheap on eBay and, if they are kinda pretty,...
Donna's luck must've rubbed off on me - I just got my first intact Philip I "animal" antoninianus - the wolf and twins. These don't come along in...
