Good luck!
My other seven coins from the Gallienus Zoo Series -- centaur, gryphon, antelope, doe, gazelle, hippocamp, and pegasus. So four real animals with...
I'm still planning to be there in the early afternoon tomorrow myself. The blurriness in my left eye had cleared up quite a bit this morning, at...
Fascinating. The relationship between Roman cameos and coins isn't recognized enough by most coin collectors, I think. Which is one of the reasons...
Very nice example! I don't actually have a panther among my Gallienus zoo coins. What I have instead is what has been convincingly (in my opinion)...
Welcome to the club of new aureus owners, @johnmilton! It's a beautiful coin. My only caveat is that I don't agree with you that halfway decent...
I guess there was no need to worry that having a "hybrid" auction instead of a fully live one would depress the prices!
For whatever it's worth, here's the definition of "nummus" from pp. 222-223 of John Melville Jones's Dictionary of Ancient Roman Coins, published...
Congratulations, @Harry G ! I bid at the most recent Roma Numismatics auction myself -- the first time I've participated in one of them -- and won...
I'm going to make it a little easier: Juno Sospita anywhere on a Roman Republican coin.
Clearly the coins are vital to the cultural heritage of Poland. I am sorry you have to deal with this.
Some examples: Roman Republic. C. Poblicius Q.f. AR Serrate Denarius, 80 BCE. Obv. Head of Roma right, wearing helmet decorated with grain ears;...
Sometimes people have a really hard time believing that their coins are fake, despite all the evidence. It's embarrassing to accept. But we can...
Is anyone planning to be at NYINC on Friday in the early afternoon? If I do go, that's when I'll be there. Judging from how I feel today, there's...
Thank you so much! And it even gives the AD 75 date of the coin! Plus it certainly confirms that de Sartiges acquired the coin before 1910. The...
Home after my first laser cataract surgery, in my left eye, early this afternoon. I'll spare you the details of the experience, but if I feel like...
From A to Z, an accurate description in this case.
Thanks. I didn't realize that it's a photo of a cast. I thought it was just a slightly blurry photo of the coin itself, with the edge cropped.
Wow. How many auction catalogs back in 1887 had photographs?
Amazing. But without photos or at least drawings, how could you ever "prove" 1, 2, or 4 if it were necessary? Not that it's likely you'll ever be...
Separate names with a comma.
