That's fascinating. Do I understand correctly that you suggest that some late Roman coins have been revalued as Spanish copper change and entered...
That's a beautiful new addition to your collection! I'm glad you and @Finn235 could work out a deal. Coins circulate quite a lot between CT...
This certainly is a very attractive and rare Antioch denier! @seth77 knows much more about these than I do, so I have no further numismatic...
Another coin that "almost made it." An early gros tournois was high on my list of important medieval coin types to add. Its connection to Philippe...
Thanks very much for posting the splendid list. I have to say that I'm somewhat surprised to see that a Roman joined your medieval party! All...
[ATTACH] Julia Domna, Roman Empire, AR denarius, 211–217 AD, Rome mint. Obv: IVLIA PIA FELIX AVG; bust of Julia Domna, draped, r. Rev: DIANA...
That's a truly excellent selection of medieval coins! I think this is the best portrait of Henry I I ever saw, and the Henry VII groat is...
I hear you. I addition to somewhat inflated prices, this is a main reason why I never really got into collecting medieval British coins...
I'm in the mood for non-European medieval coins today. Here are a dirham and a fractional dirham minted for Baibars, the fourth and arguably most...
Here is a Korkyra hemidrachm with a very prominent star on the reverse: [ATTACH] Korkyra, Korkyra, AR hemidrachm, ca. 450–400 BC. Obv: amphora;...
It's hard to choose from such a group, but in the end I'm especially partial to the four animals: Ulysses' dog, the Metellus elephant, the Cretan...
A nice selection! Coins by Carausius and Allectus are always special, and the rare Constantine Adventus-type is an exceptional find.
Well done! Both Caracalla and Geta look sweet and innocent on their early coins. Hard to believe that later on, the former murdered the latter...
All of them are very attractive and carefully selected coins, but the eastern Elagabalus denarius with the stone of Emesa is my cleas favorite!
I agree that 2020 was a complete disaster of a year – but on the bright side, you obviously found some beautifuld coins for your collection! The...
I will post my actual top ten list closer to Christmas, mostly because I’ll have more time to add small write-ups then. For now, though, I’d like...
That's a fascinating coin! I agree that Norman Sicily is one of the most interesting chapters in medieval history. Here are my two coins of...
That's a much better first year of collecting ancients than I had back then! Also, the Modigliani-Gallienus deserves extra credit for the...
I made the same experience. Savoca ships extremely fast and at a reasonable price, they are pleasant to deal with, and there are usually bargains...
It's good to see such a phenomenal list specialized on "Eastern" ancient coins. I have to say that I like the Lydian siglos (#2) best. Both its...
