I see your dilemma. The coin looks good but any coin from this region of the world is automatically suspect in my eye to the point I only buy if...
Leos are hard to find in the best condition since most fell from the dies looking pretty awful. We have to put up with what we find. My favorite...
#2 for style
Were links between other first legend coins of other reverses and the LEG XIIII coins common? Did your die study suggest an order of issue or...
I think you lose track on how much more beautiful a woman might seem to those who see her first and foremost as owner of and 'god' to people of...
Yes! You have to love how the R of ROMA lines up with the horse's head making it cartoonlike. It is not Sicilian after all but historical using...
All those are types most of us would 'like' to own but I consider it more prtactical to learn to want what is remotely possible. Using my theory,...
That is a fine group with a lot of interest that will be lost on most people . I particularly like the overstrike shown first which reminds me of...
While the appearance of Septimius Severus on the electrum makes it one I would most appreciate, the half is a coin I have been wanting for some...
Quite a few coins of Sicily have nice animals. I like this Akragas tetras (425-406 BC) with two animals on each side. Is that a small crab or a...
I would have regretted losing the Valerian.
I'm with ambr0zie on this one. Those three coins are good enough for me just as they are. I do not rank coins by grade numbers but by interest...
While I 'prefer' #7 and #8, I suppose a lot of that is the sad realization that your #1 purchase for this year is not going to cause you to turn...
I'm probably the only one here that upgrades in the wrong direction. My #1 coin in 2015 was upgraded by my #2 coin in 2016 which was not as nice...
I hope all are looking forward to AMCC3 and plan on showing all the great coins you win there. I sold quite a few coins in AMCC2 and was hoping...
My first guess would be a Provincial of Septimius Severus. The beard does not strike me as like Pertinax. In this condition, ID is unlikely.
Your coin uses the same obverse as my sestertius below but my guess is that yours is an as (around 10g?). Mine has a different reverse. Later...
Severina (wife of Aurelian) year 6 Both coins have clear obverse legends but it can take a bit of practice to learn the Greek letter forms as...
To me, the unusual part was the use of a G to indicate not only the Augusti but also the Caesars making possible coins of a Caesar like this...
I always appreciate the 'uncommon' mint theme. The Amiens Magnentius looks like it could use a better photo and certainly deserves a try....
