Thank you.
Thanks, RC! I hadn't seen that ANS example.
My post above is posthumous Lucius Verus...I almost never get these quizzes right. I'm so happy right now! :happy: As for the newest one, my...
I am puzzled by this. From the inscriptions and design, it appears to be a Seleucid tetradrachm of Antiochos X. It is too light and the wrong...
I don't know a lot about Maximianus' coins, but I have a couple. If you want to go beyond the Imperials, there are a lot of inexpensive Egyptian...
What a nice batch of coins, RC. I'd say my favorites are the Faustinas - I like the coins and I always appreciate (and learn a lot from) your...
What a bunch of nice coins. Over the weekend I was giving thanks for a couple of Imperial AE's I'd just received. This one in particular made...
At the risk of being a nuisance, I just got three new Byzantine Heraclius/Constans II/Arabic follises from my local dealer that I could use a...
Here's my guess - no name visible, but lots of curly hair - [ATTACH]
Nice coins and write up, RC. I have a Pannonia sestertius of Trajan Decius - still no silver though. [ATTACH] Trajan Decius Æ Sestertius Rome...

Here's another ancient - seated Justitia (Justice) on a sestertius of Severus Alexander. An essential part of Liberty, politically speaking....
That is very interesting - it's been a while since I read Blood Meridian, but I recall McCarthy mentioned coins but not this one specifically - I...
That's a great little medal. I'd definitely scoop that up out of a junk bin. I love junk bins - my local dealer throws some pretty odd stuff in...
I'm with Doug on this one. Although I'm no expert, and own only two of these, it does not look fake/modern to me. As for wear, the shoulders,...
I recently came across an interesting book called Out of the Past, The Istanbul Grand Bazaar by Burton Y. Berry (Arco Publishing Co., 1977). Mr....
Interesting thread. I really dislike the stiff flips - in my experience, you can open them up about twice before they split at the hinge. So I...
I would be delighted to see a centralized, systematic source for these - you have my enthusiastic encouragement for such a project! I've been...
Thank you so much, QG! I really appreciate it - and was pleased to see my "guesstimates" were lining up with your expertise. Here are the...
Those are both lovely, RC. This reminded me of a similar Faustina I (RIC 1118 - I think) that I posted a while back - a puzzler:...
