[ATTACH] Next: another coin struck during the lifetime of Christ.
Looks like it is the base metal core of a silver plated contemporary counterfeit. Neat!
Okay it's not my latest purchased but just last night I took fresh photos and created a new composition. I also studied the type some, and found...
Nice haul!
Lysimachos also struck smaller drachms with the same Alexander portrait/Athena design as the tetradrachm. They're a little bit less common than...
IT'S HARD TO THINK of a more iconic figure from ancient history than Alexander the Great, or a more consequential one. He succeeded his father...
Künker? That is a little strange then, they're not exactly a little-known back-alley house. I've bid there before, never won anything. As far as I...

Wow, that is a very detailed and lovely scene on that sestertius!
I purchased a year's subscription to ACSearch which cost $80 and IMO it is money very well spent. I use it all the time not just for attribution,...
Good day everyone! Hope you are all doing well. Last time, I posted about a very rare as of Trajan. Today I want to show a much more common coin,...
I second the recommendation to use an archive site like CoinArchives or ACSearch to get a feel for market prices. However the coin you posted is...
