These are wonderful, @Ryro! I voted for the Roman Republican coin (surprise!), the Antigonos, and the Philip V with Perseus. I have a grand total...
I protest mightily! How can I possibly narrow it down to three favorites? I ended up voting for the Koson stater, the Philip II tet, and the...
I love them all, but I think the two Roman Republicans are especially gorgeous; outstanding examples! I also voted for the Marcus Aurelius, for...
Kind of hard to tell Pan and Silenus apart, isn't it?
Definitely a hat. Cone-shaped, like a child's birthday party hat. Are those grapes attached to it?
I love that coin!
This is why I'm always much more reluctant to buy Roman bronzes, as opposed to silver or even billon coins: tooling and smoothing appear to be so...
Wonderful! I think your coin helps confirm the identification of the mask on the reverse of mine as Silenus rather than Pan, given the continuing...
The mask of Silenos lying flat on the reverse of your third coin looks almost exactly like the one on the reverse of the Vibius Varus Roman...
We had two threads earlier this year on this subject, specifically on the (essentially fraudulent) repairs of aurei, largely done in the former...

How could you have already ordered that coin when it's Lot # 7 in the current, ongoing JAZ Numismatics Auction No. 194, being conducted by our...
A terrific group. It's hard to pick my favorites - perhaps the Cato quinarius and the Octavian?
The fundamental point that you're eliding is that your "I" comprises two very distinct actors: the "I" who gave permission to mutilate the...
I somehow missed this wonderful thread last year, so I might as well post my COL NEM "Type III" dupondius now: Augustus AE (Brass) Dupondius, 9-3...
Wonderful coins, all! I voted for the Phokis bull (it's beautiful), and for two Republicans: the Fonteius galley and the C. Calpurnius L.f....
My coins of the two sons and the father, all dated in accordance with the augustuscoins website: Numerian, AE Antoninianus, Feb/Mar 283...
But how do they benefit by marking the coin as sold if they didn't actually sell it? It would have been simple enough to reject your offer if they...
