Nice coins. I have only just a few Indian coins - I really like them, but I have a heck of a time attributing them. Here is a scarce "jahangiri...
Nice to see this, Gary. I have a similar (?) one. It came in an eBay lot. Scarce, but not pretty - if I have my attribution correct - the...
Nice coin. I'd pay ten bucks for that. Mine are in worse shape but have countermarks - if you want to add to attribution complications, go...
I did a "Kallatis AE" Google image search and came up with this Vcoins listing with an obverse bust of Hercules - the profile looks a bit more...
I hope this isn't too off-topic - not Faustina, but Hadrian. I recently got this sestertius and noticed it had what might be a dot after...
Cool coin! I'm not sure quality control was always very high when it came to countermarking, which often seems to have been done in a hurry....
A most informative write up! Very interesting too. Egyptian vexilla, I think... [ATTACH] Egypt Potin Tetradrachm Aurelian Year 4...
Thanks, Valentinian - I've been on your site a lot, but I missed this page. Very informative!
Whoa! That is an exceptionally nice one. I like it. Here is what mine looks like: [ATTACH]
I think Byzantine artists were capable of beautiful, sublime artwork in the "western" mode. My guess (and it is a guess) is that the Byzantines...
Unattributed lots bring such surprises, or things I know nothing about. Recently I got one that had two miniscule AEs that baffled me - a...
Hurray! I am so glad somebody started a Fallen Horseman thread - I just got my first one (that is not unidentifiable crud). It came in an...
Nice Byzantines. Here are my two latest folles: Holed, but affordable: [ATTACH] Justinian I Æ Follis Year 20 (546-547 A.D.)...
Always good to see your latest and greatest Faustina, RC. That's a beauty. Inspired by your post, I have delved into my collection and found...
I'd agree that these are far too suspicious to buy on eBay... That being said, I buy most of my ancients on eBay and, after looking at thousands...
I would agree that looks more like a countermark than a chopmark. India rupees with chopmarks are quite scarce - it didn't really fit in with the...
Nice coins. Valerian II was pretty young when he was on the throne - but I couldn't tell exactly how old after a quick online search. Maybe a...
Thank you for that vote of confidence, Bing. It looks pretty good to me too, which is why I haven't entirely given up on it... But I posted it a...
Nice coins. I don't think this is genuine (ancient) - but it is a small, weird thing from Macedonia by a guy named Phil. The attribution is...
Here's a denarius of Faustina I that has weird "bubbles" on the surface. It "feels" otherwise genuine and it does not appear to be a fourree....
