That's a fascinating series. I don't thing I've ever seen the bust of Mars type before, and I wasn't aware that there is so much variety for this...
Splendid coins! I particularly like the Elagabalus with the “horn” and the priestly reverse, and the Maxentius. There’s a lot going on in that...
I can very much understand that – it has a particularly amazed feline facial expression. I'm also happy to report that bug-eyed big lion is so far...
Nice selection! I especially like the many exceptionally attractive LRBs. The two Constantine II coins have a lot of eye appeal. The Venus with...
What a nice group of coins! I particularly like the Probus and the helmeted Constantine. The latter has a terrific patina, and the thunderbolt...
Thanks for all of the kind words! I appreciate it. It’s particularly good to see that each of the ten coins were named as favorites. I guess that...
I've already shown this one very recently... but well, I'll play anyways. A "wrestlers-and-slinger" stater, but not from Selge: [ATTACH]...

Ancient counterfeits, an endless source of joy and numismatic discussion... [ATTACH] Artaxerxes II – Darius III, Achaemenid Empire, fourrée...
I'd leave Caracalla alone if I were you. He has got a history of not taking kindly to people messing around with him. Just ask Geta if you'd like...
Apart from the abundant Genius issues of the tetrarchy, this interesting type comes to mind. Here is the Genius of the Illyrian legions with the...
That's a nice Nerva you got – it's actually much better than mine. Congrats to you and your son on what looks like a very good collecting year!...
This is indeed a most worthwhile thread. My Faustina I "Aeternitas" sestertius shows a figure holding a globe (indicating Providentia), a sceptre...
That's indeed a stellar list of 2019 additions to your collection. If I have to pick a favorite, I'll go with the Republican didrachm for both...

Coins like this prove that despite their reputation, LRBs can look pretty, too. Looking forward to seeing the other nine coins. Some of my...
It looks like you had a wonderful collecting year! The "barbarous imitations from Sarmatia" and the authenticity discussion about them are...
