Oops ! My mistake.
I guess Constantine I logically would come right after Maxentius, but aren't there some others we haven't had yet? Like Maximinus II? Maximinus...
I think the OP said that it's the BnF example -- the French National Library. So I don't think anyone will be buying it!
It's similar, but not exactly the same. You can't strike a denarius and sestertius from the same die.
A great example, but why does Faustina look so angry? Very different from her calm expressions on mine and @Gam3rBlake's. Commodus must have been...
A wonderful example of one of my own favorite types, @Gam3rBlake! I particularly like her coins showing children. Here are some Faustina II's I'm...
Roman Republic, M. Cato, AR Quinarius [half denarius], 89 BCE. Obv. Head of young Liber (or Bacchus) right, M•CATO (AT ligate) downwards behind;...

24-hour rule! Next, a human-headed sphinx. Mine: Roman Republic, T. Carisius, AR Denarius, 46 BCE, Rome mint. Obv. Head of Sibyl (or Sphinx)...
For the OP, more on genuine vs. fake scarabs: http://www.seal-collector.de/faked-or-authentic.html A link to Petrie's 1917 book on scarabs:...
For people who inherit high-end coins but have no expertise themselves, having them slabbed by NGC isn't a guarantee of authenticity, but...
You don't need to prove to me that there are genuine bronze scarabs. I never questioned it; I merely pointed out that citing as a source the...
Sigh. You only said it was bronze AFTER I asked what it was made of and made the comment about wood that apparently so offended you.
Learn to read better. That's not what I said. I said that if it's made of wood I didn't think it's real. But you love to withhold information,...
I asked you what yours was made of. So it's copper? A word to the wise: find a better source than the Sadigh Gallery!
What is that made of? It looks like it might be made of wood, in which case I very much doubt its authenticity.
OK, here's the prodigal son: [ATTACH] And as a bonus, here's Aelius Caesar: [ATTACH] And a Divus Antoninus Pius: [ATTACH] And a Divus...
I don't think I'd be technically capable of making a poster if my life depended on it, but here are some coins of those emperors, along with a few...
My own since-acquired example of Galeria Valeria: Galeria Valeria (wife of Galerius and daughter of Diocletian). AE Follis, 308-310 AD, Cyzicus...
I would be skeptical as well. Too elaborate and too perfect, especially for one that large. I think it would be expensive if real. You can...
Separate names with a comma.
