Wonderful! And all other superlatives. You're fortunate to have seen it before someone else (like me!) could rush in to buy it!
But how much did half dollars really circulate even before 1970, and/or before 1964? I'm old enough to remember the late 60s rather well, and the...
I probably took the two photos on the same day, then.
@dougsmit, by searching OCRE, I found four examples of denarii with Dea Caelestis holding a thunderbolt and facing forward, at...
Thank you!
I think your conclusion that it's a limes denarius makes sense. Are you saying that the denarius of Antoninus Pius you posted must be the model...
Congratulations, @JayAg47! I have only one Faustina I lifetime coin: Faustina I [Senior] [wife of Antoninus Pius], AR Denarius 139-Oct 140 AD...

@Limes, I love your lighthouse coin! Regarding your question, I was going to ask the same thing. But almost every source I looked at seemed to...
A beautiful coin, @Al Kowsky! In my limited experience, Philip I tets from Antioch are the most common; I see new ones up for sale all the time....
You're making me hungry!
Thanks! I suspect that I was aware of the difference back when I took the photo, and simply forgot which was which over the years. I'll have to go...
As far as I remember, it's the Trajan column. Why do you call it the Marcus Aurelius column?
When I registered for the recent Cayon Subastas auction (an auction house in Madrid), I was told the following: "We need image of your ID/Passport...
It occurred to me to post these as well! An old print of Trajan's column, purchased in Rome in 2008: [IMG] A photo I took during the same...
A beautiful coin. Do you have any photos of your trip to post? I'm sure there are many of us who'd love to see them.
I've always thought that porphyry statue is gorgeous, @ancient coin hunter. I wonder if anyone has tried to figure out which pair of tetrarchs is...
@cmezner, that's a really great example! I've been looking for a Trajan's column coin (whether a denarius or a bronze) for what feels like...
Beautiful!
