That is a real beauty, Panzerman. It reminds me of something I recently picked up on eBay - a whopping 27 grams of debased silver - 2 zolota...
Although I have nothing to share, I will say that I really like these - Tyana interests me because of Apollonius of Tyana and his most...
Very interesting reverse type and a nice "Imperial style" portrait as well. Kinda makes me wonder if it was minted in Rome?
A very enjoyable thread indeed. Here are 2 from Antoninus Pius - [ATTACH] Antoninus Pius Denarius (140-143 A.D.) Rome Mint ANTONINVS AVG...
Very attractive countermarks - I did some poking around and couldn't find anything, however.
Nice display. I like the idea of rotating coins from your collection - it keeps things fresh.
Great post - I love other people's "junk." Here is a Postumus antoninianus I got on eBay for the opening bid of one US cent (shipping not...
Strangely enough, I just got another Volusian from Samaria with Mt. Gerizim. From the same seller (off eBay). This one is smaller than the OP,...
Thank you all for you assistance and comments - I am quite excited about my first chimaera. Way to go TIF for spotting a goat's head sprouting...
Wow. I wasn't even close, was I? :bucktooth: Thanks TIF. That sure looks like a chimera and a Pegasus...now that you point it out. My first...
That's a good suggestion - I hadn't thought of that. It would explain the thing coming off the back - thanks! I am going to keep looking.
I thought this would be easy, but I am having trouble figuring out this small Greek (presumably) AE. Poor condition is not helping matters, but I...
I had no idea that dupondii came with crescents. Very interesting indeed.
Except for the opposite orientation, your harpa looks a lot like mine. From what I can tell from poking around online, coins from Commagene were...
Thanks for sharing that, Ed - it's interesting. If you can see the letters it could be Howgego 500 like mine. I'd be interested to see what you...
Another addition to my countermark collection, I bought this one without any idea what it was - eBay seller said it was Philip I from Syria. But...
My Domitian sestertius experience is limited, but I have a very worn one, stripped that comes in at this: 21.86 grams / 31 mm. Bad photo - it is...
Really interesting stuff. I'm really enjoying this thread- it is giving me a vicarious thrill. I've been watching this seller like a hawk -...
Ah, non-Internet! Sorry I misunderstood. I am so old all my coins were pre-Internet for about 10 years or so. Now I rarely buy in the real...
Nice coin - that is a fine specimen to start your collection with. As Doug says, these are rarely this well centered. And to demonstrate,...
