In an undescribed lot of Roman Provincials from eBay, there was one I couldn't figure out. What is throwing me is the SC on the reverse - it does...
I was going to report this post for setting me off on a frantic 2 hour search through undescribed lots of LRBs on eBay...:woot: Really, really...
Doug makes an excellent point - the Internet is both impermanent and prone to errors. In an effort to offset these problems, I create files via...
Welcome to Coin Talk, zenlib. I feel your pain - I too cannot afford RIC - it costs more than my current car! However, have you tried OCRE...
That is, if it is genuine, an unusually nice example conditionwise for a Postal Commemorative Society encapsulated 8 reales. It is a very early,...
Hmmm. This is a toughy. Mysia, Perperene? I found a couple on Vcoins that sort of resembles yours - note the reverse lettering - but grapes on...
Nice find. Because of scrounging, I have three ADVENTVS types of Philip I - these would appear to be one of his more common types. I think this...
Could they be limes issues? They look a bit dark. I have a dark Julia Mamaea that I am pretty sure is a "limes" issue - it appears to have been...
I have an atrocious half groat. This was apparently issued by Parliament, at least from what I found when I researched it. These are pretty...
I think I have one of those - as for "value" I paid $9.99: [ATTACH] Philip I 8 Assaria Syria, Antioch ad Orontem...
Nice coins in this post. Here's my only presentable Octavian - I bought this back in 1994 when I only made a few purchases a year and my...
Terrific deal. Congrats!
I have several Commodus denarii that weigh around 2 grams or so. They appear to be legitimate mint issues. From what I can tell, it is the later...
I think you probably already saw this post on "Roman Coins of British Association," but just in case - there is an article link in there too....
Nice write-up and coins. Here is a sestertius of Julia Mamaea that suffered a huge crack - only Vesta holds it together. For utterly...
Interesting coins. Along the same lines, I recently got a Lysimachos Celtic imitation with a lion on the reverse (a full lion). It was then...
Nice one, RC. I too want a Glycon, but I am going to have to get pretty lucky bottom-feeding to find a cheap one. The story behind it is...
Well, yours was free and I paid $3.25 for mine. I think you got the better deal! And yeah, I think we don't have to worry too much about...
Oooo. Now that's my kind of sestertius! Good price too. I like it. I too believe this is Marcus Aurelius with Jupiter reverse. I did an OCRE...
Welcome aboard. And a very nice coin to start things off with.
