Nice addition @panzerman I've always liked the solidi of Constantine IV because they harken back to 4th and 5th century portraits of helmeted...
I agree with everyone else! Like @panzerman I always have CNG ship to my US relatives and they bring them back to Canada. When there is no one in...
What a great idea for a thread! @ancient coin hunter Wonderful Nero sestertius @Limes Here are some green or green-ish coins from my...
@Fugio1 What a wonderful specimen. For tetrarchic folles, that portrait is truly spectacular! The coin also seems to be fully silvered. Well done!
@Old World Coins a wonderful selection for your first Roman gold! Here's my solidus of Honorius, though its not my first Roman gold. Honorius...
Yes it certainly is a rush...one that becomes rather anti-climatic when you lose! :arghh:
That happened to me too a couple of auctions ago! I placed my bid for a Drusus sestertius in the last 8 seconds, and it said I was winning, and...
Wonderful Maxentius @Al Kowsky ! You're definitely right that the CNG photo doesn't do it justice.

Here's one of my siliquae that I have not yet shared. Arcadius (383-408 AD) AR Siliqua [IMG] Date: 392-395 AD Obv: DN ARCAPI-VS PF AVG (sic),...
Hey everyone!.....Just thought I’d share this. I visited the Rom today and noticed that two coins from the Roman display case were seemingly...
Wonderful @bcuda ! That is probably the most unique hairstyle I've ever seen on a coin of Constantine. The hair looks like overlapping flower petals.
@David Atherton Terrific coin and write up! Turns out we have the same coin! Your write up is quite informative! Up until now, I knew practically...
Wonderful acquisition @David Atherton ! I only have one so-called middle bronze of Domitian, an As, though a dupondius would be a nice...
