So, why the murex shell on all these Tyre coins?
Unless mine is a double-die match with the other Prieur 1533, pictured above. As I said, the obverses definitely match but I'm not sure if the...
Because the obverse of 1534 is described as a laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Septimius Severus, whereas the obverse of 1533 (my coin) is...
I like yours at least as much as the Shanna Schmidt example! Beautiful.
This, by the way, is the CNG 2019 specimen, "from the Michael Prieur Collection," of the type I just purchased: [ATTACH] Obviously not the same...
I usually don't post coins I've bought until I actually receive them, but this time my curiosity gets the better of me. In today's Nomos Obolos...
Lanz has been selling fake legionary denarii on ebay forever, but I thought he had finally started listing them openly as "copies." I'm beginning...
You've posted your wonderful Bes coin in this thread before, @Ryro, and, like this time, have not gotten any response. It's time you realized that...

And then there's ancient jewelry that looks like it was made from a coin, but isn't described as such. This silver ring is currently up for sale...
I bow to your superior age and knowledge! It seems that you're probably about 10 years older than I am, given that I began college in the early...
I know. I was pretending to be outraged.
You shot him? You monster!
Assuming that's supposed to be Julia Domna, there's something about her face -- maybe the shape of her nose? -- that doesn't look quite right to...
A beautiful example, @TIF. I can't imagine that whatever you paid for it was more than it would cost in today's market. I hesitated to pay what I...
I like the variety showing the steps in front of the doorway. Not something I've seen very often. What is the building on the reverse of your...
@octavius and @Ancient Aussie, thank you for the proper identification of the obelisk in my photo. I know that my son and I visited St. Peter's...
A wonderful example. I've enjoyed browsing that website a number of times. The level of detail is truly amazing. I know that the scenes were all...
