Wow, great set Victor.
@Victor_Clark Two beauties, especially the second one which I've seen available once since I started collecting London coins, and it was around...
[ATTACH] LMCC 7.05.006, RIC 209C IMP LICINIVS PF AVG GENIO POP ROM -/*/PLN 22mm, 4.61g, 311-312AD Not rare, not terribly exciting, just a really...
If it's VG, it's the kind of VG I'd be happy to have.
That's a great coin @Tasciovanus76 and the double strike adds to the interest for me.
Two nice examples. I've long considered building a side collection of quadrantes and semisses, tracing the denominations from Roman Republican...

Cracking coin, and an excellent write up, thanks. At the moment, the coin I would love to own but I am very unlikely to is one of the issues of...
Gosh Finn, I'm jealous of that double struck Diocletian under Carausius. Great coin.
That's a really nice example @Spaniard
Great post, thanks for the write up.
Silver crystalizes over time, and it's not uncommon for ancient silver coins to become very brittle. Sometimes the surface looks fine, but...
Bummer about the break, but still of great numismatic value and it has repaired nicely.
The funeral pyre on your Faustina I is unlike the ones I've seen before, less like a wedding cake, more elaborate and interesting.

@Valentinian I wonder if the weight and marks in the fields mean it was contemporaneous with the T/F//PLN coins that had I/I in the fields or...
Separate names with a comma.
