Well the Nabataens aren't well-known for nice round coins with centered devices, but this one is an oddball even so. Maybe the minter had a little...
Qedem 3? Do you mind looking up how he distinguishes between Nabataean 1 and 2? I believe 2 has to do with the way Nike's wings are engraved -...
OK well, I was going to wait on this one, but I probably need to redeem myself for that Helena. ;) I'm pretty sure you guys will like this one...
This little beauty arrived today, courtesy of my comrade-in-coins Mat. A pleasure doing business with you, sir! :thumb: :D:yes::cool::thumb:...
For my Constantine family tree. So tell me honestly what you think: does the porosity of this coin bother you? This wasn't an impulse buy - I...
Well I've had a streak of good luck finding dirt cheap LRBs for my Constantine family tree. First a Theodora, then a Constantine II GLORIA...
...but a reverse type I didn't have yet. This is how I like my LRBs: VF details, a bit of "rust", and dirt cheap (9 bucks). :) [IMG] Theta...

I posted a thread on this series last week, looking for advice, and after some research managed to acquire a piece for my collection. I think I...
So I was fooling around with my LRBs tonight, trying to get my head wrapped around some of the genealogies, and I came up with this graphic that...
The obverse jibes with various provincial types, but I can't locate a reference for the reverse. It looks similar to Provincia Dacia coins, but...
These are AE4s minted under the authority of Constantine II after his father's death in 337. The type I'm most drawn to is the emperor driving a...
I just don't HOW I'm going to spend all that extra loot. :dead-horse:
Well since nobody else is exercising any moderation around here, I went and grabbed this one today, for my Constantine era type set. It fits...
OK, it's not the greatest coin in the world, but for the cost of lunch at McDonald's it's not bad. I was looking at the various types at Wildwinds...
