You win, and sorry about that! They're all over my apartment. I noticed it too late, of course, and was too lazy to take the photo all over again....
I like the portrait on this one. Purchased from Frank Robinson. Julian II, AE Double Maiorina, 361-363 AD, Sirmium [Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia]...
I love your photo of your tray. Beautiful. I attempted this morning to take a single photo of my entire tray of 63 Roman Republican coins (ordered...
Thanks. Sometimes I do, but to photograph the tray when it's on a stand I'd have to take the pictures through the plastic covering. Otherwise the...
Yours is a very nice example, @Alegandron, with more than enough of the eagle to have the scene make sense. I found 59 examples of the type on...
Yes, that's definitely the same type as mine -- technically, an anonymous issue. Here's a larger photo, together with my description: Roman...
So what's next, @Ryro?
But if Ryro accepts my Bes, then my "next" would be another Roman Alexandrian coin, depicting Isis.
I would consider Bes an Egypt-specific deity. After all, that's where he came from! I have no Bes coin either. I do have this ancient Egyptian...
Well, Egypt was in North Africa the last time I checked, so here's a coin I like to post when I can: Hadrian, Billon Tetradrachm, Year 12...
Well, one takes that into account in deciding how much to bid. For example, I knew that Nomos charges an 18% buyers' premium plus 35 CHF for...
Goodness gracious!
Fantastic example, @jdmKY ! You can really see how the eagle's wing extends partly outside the coin's dotted border. I wonder how many other Roman...
Finally a request that isn't too obscure for the likes of me! The Triumvirs, Octavian, AR Denarius, Autumn 30-Summer 29 BC, Italian (Rome?) Mint....
I won this coin in the recently-completed Nomos Obolos 20 auction, and it arrived today from Switzerland. It's a type I've long admired and...
Great coins. I especially like the ones in which the mountain is clearly a model sitting on a table! (Call it an altar if you like). Here's my...
Beautiful coins! Here's my plinthophoric drachm: Islands off Caria, Rhodes, AR Plinthophoric Drachm (ca. 188-170 BCE), Artemon, magistrate. Obv....
If you paid that much, you are an exception. My experience is with major dealers like Stack's Bowers.
Also, gold has an intrinsic value that puts a floor on the acceptable sales price. Not true of other coins.
If you sell directly to a dealer that's knowledgeable about ancient coins (rather than consigning for auction), you're unlikely to be offered more...
