Finally, I've got this tiny little fellow--9 mm, ~0.85g.--that I haven't had much luck with so far (although it's been only 3 days). I've trying...
Here's another favorite so far. It's really ravished, and the reverse has been largely eaten away by corrosion, which a previous owner has...
I just won a lot of 32 Greek AEs, loose, all without any ID. I am in the process of IDing them, and I have to admit that I'm getting addicted....
This lot of 7 Greek bronzes had an estimate of $150 in CNG's most recent e-auction (E-Auction 479, Lot 590), yet ending up selling for $1,200 plus...
My apologies for the poor photo. It's late (for me) and I haven't dragged out all my regular photo equipment. Plus, the coin is only 9 mm, so I'm...
A couple of years ago I got a batch of tiny Greek bronzes, and I've had a lot of fun working my way through the batch and slowly IDing them. So...
I have the day off today, so I built myself a quick-and-dirty light diffuser with wood scraps and a sheet of white paper. [ATTACH] I cut slots...
I have a votive of Constantine I from Thessalonica: [ATTACH] AE19 Thessalonica mint, A.D. 324 Obv: CONSTAN-TINVS Rev: D N CONSTANTINI MAX AVG -...
I decided to change my Avatar: [ATTACH] Here's the coin that it's from: [IMG] Rome mint, A.D. 326 RIC 281 Obv: [No legend] Rev: CONSTAN/TINVS/AVG...
This is probably the tiniest coin that I own. Considering how small it is, I'm actually impressed with the photo. Would I be correct in describing...
Do I have the reverse oriented correctly? Is that a bunch of grapes? Are the letters Greek or Phoenician? Any help is appreciated. [ATTACH] 9 mm,...
I'm not sure if I have the reverse oriented correctly. Any idea what is depicted? [ATTACH] 10mm, 1.1g
I have been playing around with my new USB microscope, with decidedly mixed results, photographing some very tiny Greek bronzes. There are 4 coins...
I finally got an owl. It's from the most recent CNG auction. I haven't photographed it yet, but here's CNG's photo: [ATTACH] It arrived in a flip...
I have recently won a few lots of Greek bronzes. I was planning to ID them, put them in flips and then sell them, but--dang it--I've gotten...
What a shame. Such a pretty obverse, and such a crummy reverse. Someone needed to tell the slaves stamping this coin that they needed to get a new...
I've recently received this denarius of Caracalla. I really like the portrait, so I thought I'd share it. [ATTACH] AR denarius Rome mint, A.D....
I just received a lot of 8 antoniniani that I won in the last CNG auction. Three of the coins came with paper envelopes. The envelopes seem pretty...
I'm working my way through a group of tiny Greek bronzes, trying to ID them and date them. I'm having decent luck so far, but this one has me...
Below is a coin--not mine--of Constantine I, as Caesar, from Aquilea, A.D. 306-307. In my opinion, this wreath tie is a bit over the top. Strange...
