Thank you ryro - this is very interesting, and in my humble opinion, quite plausible. There certainly are a lot of these Pan-types out there, in...
Thanks again RC...it seems I guessed right for once! I looked at a lot of Faustina II, Lucilla and Crispina buns while trying to make a good guess.
Thank you RC - I knew I could count on you!
Here is Part II of the marvelous lot of ancients sent me by tenbobbit: A Somewhat Botched Maximianus follis: I really like these big LRB...
In January I received a PM from CT member tenbobbit, asking if I was interested in a batch of ancients. I told him I'd look them over, warning...
Some really lovely coins in this post. And so, at the risk of junking it up, I just got a Faustina II sestertius with her being lofted heavenward...
Nice coins. Whenever I get one of these I head to this site: http://www.viminacium.nl/English%20index.html Nice big photos and clear...
Neato post. Here is Artemis and her gear: [ATTACH] Seleucid Kingdom Æ 19 Demetrius I Soter (162-150 B.C.) Antioch Mint Bust of Artemis...

Well, Arnoldoe, Andrzej is beginning to think along the Macedonian Koinon lines for this coin as noted in your post. Here is the latest: Mike,...
Lacking a decent library, I always try acsearch. I found one of each in a quick search: Vlasto 755...
Once again Al, you've made my day! Thank you so much for digging up all this information on my Macrinus. Rare. Huh! I feel like my tiny...
Nice looking coins. Very stern Julias! I'm guessing the "other sides" will be just fine. I have no idea why they didn't take a photo of the...
I recently got another Macrinus - an "SC" AE from Antioch. Now I have two! This features what I believe is the longer beard. I had some...
Thank you Ed & Arnoldoe - an overstrike is a definite possibility - it might explain the weirdness of the coin, and why it matches nothing in...
That is a beautiful coin - congratulations on the fine addition to your collection. Here is mine with a boy rather than the warrior obverse, a...
