A tremissis of Theodosius II. Weight would help, but it looks fine to me. Theoretically should weigh 1.50g, but in this condition 1.4x is almost...
I assume you mean the passport number. Yes some European auction houses ask for a scan of the passport ID page, showing my name and home address....
At first I thought you wanted to get a fair price for the book itself, but upon rereading it looks like you want the book to tell you the...
The obverse bust looks like Septimius Severus to me. Maybe a provincial. Maybe this type: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=5726783
Beautiful examples, and thanks for the list of reading resources. Here's three more. Aigai, Herakleia, and Smyrna. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Sigh. I don't have an example. The EID MAR is highly desired by many collectors, and is far out of reach for my budget. However I stand by what...
Sorry I read that the Eid Mar is rare so many times... There are 85 known examples of the Eid Mar denarius, according to this thread....
I doubt if it's silver. Don't think it's worth 27 dollars too. It's not a well made reproduction. Lots of people are on eBay looking for a good...

Great coin of Valens. Here is my latest solidus, struck under the authority of Constantine the Great for Constantine II in Nicomedia. They really...
"Server" is their term for chatroom.
I think he might not be replying.
Perhaps it wasn't clear enough. Yes, style is a means of identifying a fake. However, if NGC has given an opinion that the coin is genuine,...
For anyone reading this thread... if anyone has doubts about whether an NGC slab is real, you can look it up here, provided you have the cert...
I think that it should be clear that Ernstk is trying to provoke responses with his/her (deliberate?) misinterpretation of other people's posts....
Such raised areas or blisters could indicate that the coin is genuine and has been in a fire, or it could be that there has been some internal...
I thought the same. Certainly he/she is not new to collecting ancients. Similar collecting interests, similar suspicions about authenticity.....
Yes there is a live session. In the past it wasn't possible to participate in Kunker's live session over the internet, but it looks like they've...
I think spelling errors will generate more interest in modern coinage because they are much more uniform and standardised. Ancient coinage has...
Separate names with a comma.
