What a wonderful group of medievals! Both the Bratislaus denár and the Aethelred II penny are true highlights, the latter also because of the...
This is a quality post that deserves a bump. I don't really have any qualified opinion to contribute, but I have often wondered how Magnetius'...

I usually don't offer opinions on such matters, but the coins seems too perfectly round to me, and those letter shapes are all over the place....
No idea about the first coin, but the second one looks similar to this one: [ATTACH] Aeolis, Autokane, c. 400-300 BC. Æ8. Obv: Laureate head of...
Splendid group of Severan denarii! The Jupiter reverse on your Caracalla denarius (#6) is especially outstanding, as is the bearded portrait of...
Nice coin, @NLL ! I love pretty much all pachyderms and the coins depicting them. The Q. Caecilius Metellus denarius is especially interesting...
Please, don't give him ideas! The Central European Middle Ages are my hunting grounds, and I honestly don't need bidding competition from those...
@eparch , that cabinet truly is a dream! I love it. For the long term, I'd like to store my coins in a similar piece of furniture, but since I'll...
In the past, when I was beginning to collect, I have used Ren Wax with mixed results. Some surfaces certainly looked better after applying it....
I suspect that you are having a fourrée denarius with most of the silver plating gone. Though I can't identify the exact emperor, I'd assume it's...
That's a good question. I'd probably choose an upcoming mid-range auction where most lots will sell below $150 (think, for example, Artemide...
I'm fortunate enough to have a fair number of friends, colleagues, and family with pronounced interests in ancient and medieval history, art, and...
It's particularly interesting that the animals on your Caracalla ant have a bull's head but a horse's body. Is that part of the design or was the...
I'm not sure whether I can support this hypothesis. The coin below seems to give contrary evidence. It clearly shows one of Santa's elfs riding...
A fantastic and carefully composed list! Congratulations on a terrific collecting year. It's clear that all ten coins have some feature that adds...
That coin has immaculate detail on the portrait as well as on Laetitia, better style than most Tacitus coins I have seen, and the strike is great,...
A very promising example of an interesting type – I'm looking forward to see it after cleaning! I've got this very pedestrian Arabia denarius in...
Well, there seem to be a few "Eastern" ancients in that pile. It's one of the nicer Kushan types: [ATTACH] Vima Takto, Kushan Empire, AE...
A couple of new year end lists have been added to the OP recently, so it's time to bump this thread with another coin that almost made my top 10:...
