I admire those countermarks, Doug. I have a few of these, but mine are all on very worn follises of the Justinian/Justin era. Yours appear to be...
Nice ones, RC! I'm glad you understand gettin' the fever. A couple good ones in the mail and I'm off for a week staring at online Justinian...
Nice one - I have one from this "53" series. After I got it (unattributed) I remember I spent a lot of time looking at helmets and capes to get...
I like the new avatar, ACH. For reasons I cannot explain, Lucius Verus is one of my favorite collecting areas (I have about 30 or 80 "collecting...
Those are very interesting small AEs of Justinian, David. I had no idea there was a Byzantine "VOT" type. But there is a lot of things I don't...
I just got a batch of el-cheapo Byzantine coppers yesterday that made me as happy as a clam (clam emoji?) despite some cosmetic issues. The one...
That looks like a great heap - I was watching it, but didn't bid. This seller has been running a lot of lots like this on eBay - I've won one,...
Very interesting! Thanks for passing those links along Bart9349. Here is another article that shows some of the coins they've found under the...
Thanks again Ed - I'd never heard of these Rhodian imitations done by Perseus and indeed, mine strikes me as too coarse to be an official Rhodes...
Thank you Ed - you are right, it does look like a "dart sling." More than a flower, anyway. I appreciate the insight - I will continue looking...
I love coin mysteries... I think this was my very first CT post, a couple years back. Some humorous observations, as I recall, but no positive...
I did not know these came in posthumous issues. Interesting. I have two lifetime issues. Both with some rather obvious problems, but I really...
Nice coin and impressive research, RC. I should say nice bird too. Earlier this year I got a similar one with the peacock strutting on a scepter...
Well, at least you know it is at least 54 years old. In a world of cheap knock-off fake coins, that is a real antiquity!
That "Automan" collector on FORVM has an awesome collection of countermarks - and his descriptions are loaded with detail. He really knows his...
That is a fine looking and interesting countermark, RC. Whenever I get a new countermark, I check out FORVM. I found two like yours (in case you...
Thank you, Andrew. And now, to violate my pledge not to bring down the high class neighborhood of your thread with my ugly coins, here is my SAX,...
A truly mind-boggling collection, Andrew. I just wanted to let you know that yesterday I spent hours going over your website (and this post) to...
Interesting line of inquiry, Kevin. I cannot add any solid information, but here are a couple of my coins: This Antoninus Pius dupondius has a...
Great looking coins, everybody. I've accumulated several Postumii over the past 2 years - with some rather dramatic differences in appearance...
