It certainly is a splendid example of the larger series.
Cool! I woke up and decided that just narrowing down the suggestion to a Philip Antoninianus would be the best course. The dealer has 100+ of those.
It took me about a minute and a half to attribute all the large coins. There's a couple of Justin II's, a decrepit Maurice Antioch, Anastasius, a...
What do you think of my idea? It preserves some interest of receiving a mystery coin, but takes most of the downsides out of it. A work friend...
98% of these are a difficulty 1/10. The only ones which might be a challenge are the Constans II's, mainly because I've never been interested in...
I haven't done this in years, but I purchased a small lot of inexpensive, low-grade Byzantine coins. This was the nicest of the unsold lots, in...
Pretty neat! That's quite an array.
I've always kind of wanted one of those, but the price has always been too high. That's a very nice example you have! It's a great acquisition.
I might also suggest checking out the youtube channel, Classical Numismatics. He has some really informative stuff, as well as videos for beginners.
I really like collecting both series. Seleucia and Isaura are slightly scarce mints (although I'm sure officinae gamma through epsilon are...
That's a nice tetradrachm!
Very nice finds, especially the sestertius.
It's a nice example. Your first few ancient coins are certainly better than mine were. Here's a map, of the period in question:...
I've completed the follis type set (i.e. one of each respective Sear number) of both Seleucia Isauriae and Isaura, respectively. Coins of...
It's an interesting pickup, but I have very few provincials from that area and even less coins of Vespasian.
Could it be crystallized?
It is indeed a nice one. The toning sets it off.

My one and only U.S. coin order, a Morgan, disappeared via Registered Mail. That being said, I still strongly prefer the post office for ancient...
That's quite an accomplishment. Congratulations!
