Nice write up, Bing. I have an Alexander type drachm from Lampsakos... [ATTACH] Macedonia Kingdom Drachm Antigonus I Monophthalmus (c. 320-306...
Resurrecting this thread because I just got a coin from Nacrasa similar to the OP. I've been buying little over-cleaned Greek AEs on the cheap...
Nice coins. I have a not-as-nice example of the OP (Price 3754). [ATTACH] Seleukos I Nikator Tetradrachm (c. 311-300 B.C.) Babylon Mint Head...

Welcome to ancients and Coin Talk, George. That's a nice Macedonian AE you got there. And I think I have one just like it - with the Gamma above...
Very impressive & attractive group, Donna. And congratulations on finishing the set. But you seem to be missing the very rare two-thirds...
Nice Cubans. I used to accumulate these in low grade - I like the designs. Here is a big 1953 "Marti" peso with an itty-bitty brass 1 centavo...
I have a Gallienus that weighs 5.84 grams - unlike the fat OP, mine appears to have only the faintest acquaintance with silver, if that:...
I just happen to have recently read a lurid account of Gallienus' indifference to his father's fate. This account is from a two-volume historical...

I recently picked up a cheap-o Probus - some problems with the strike, but with most of the silvering intact: [ATTACH] Probus Æ...
Really terrific al marco examples and information shared here - it is nice to see them all in one thread. It is also interesting to note that the...
Until a couple years ago, I had no idea what an al marco coin was. But thanks to several examples and explanations and theories in Coin Talk...
Thanks for the link - I watched two of them last night. Good stuff.
Nice looking coin, Justin. I really like the anepigraphic reverse. This is along the same lines, but not as attractive, a Marcus Aurelius as...
Thanks for that, RC. I usually forget to check the British Museum collection - for some reason I have a hard time manipulating their search...
Another low-grade, poorly-described couple of ancients just came in from eBay (thank you US Postal Service!). Not everybody's cup of tea when it...
