As I said, I don't doubt your coin at all. However, given the prevalence of dangerous fakes, I find it impossible to authenticate a worn example,...
That is a real gem. Love the portrait.
I don't doubt that the above coin is genuine, but how do you actually know that? I mean there is hardly anything left of the design. If I was a...
True, but the only people who should be embarrassed are the dealer who sold the coin (hopefully in ignorance) and the forger who made the coin. I...
Another one of my favorite busts of Aurelian is this one below. Obv.: IMP AVRELIANVS AVG Rev.: RESTITVT ORI-ENTIS In exergue: P Mint: Mediolanum...
Great coins shown here. I love those early Aurelian issues. This is probably one of my least interesting Aurelians, but I think it has a great...
I think that is a great arrangement, which encourages finders of hoards to report them to the authorities. The recent find of a Celtic gold coin...
This coin probably commemorates Aurelius' role at the Gothic defeat at the battle of Naissus in AD 269. Obv.: IMP C DOM AVRELIANVS AVG Rev.:...
Your Denga was minted between 1534 and 1547, i.e. before Grand Prince Ivan IV was crowned Tsar Ivan I in 1547. The obverse legend reads Knyaz...
I always wondered which campaign this type of Aurelian celebrated. The coin is dated to late 271, i.e. a time when Aurelian's troops suffered a...
Wow, that is a super interesting explanation, which I will keep on record with these coins. Maybe the number of military standards (and...
True, on his early coins Aurelianus looks very much like Claudius II (but not like Quintillus). The coin below was offered as a Claudius II when...
Very nice ... I think the green stuff looks good on the coins. I would leave it where it is. I also have the variety with one Concordia: Obv.:...
Actually, on the German forum they argue quite convincingly that the CNG coin is a fake, and indeed one of several Pertinax fakes offered by CNG...
Very interesting. Maybe the coin flipped around after the first correct strike and in a second strike the obverse was struck by the reverse die...
I found the coin below on Ebay. I think the type is quite scarce, especially for Siscia. I wonder how RIC arrived at such a narrow dating at...
In acsearch I found the following coins with variants of the DOMINO NOSTRO legend. I was not aware that different reverse types existed....
I think even the idea that "tribes" struck these coins is highly flawed. It again implies, that Germanic (or Moorish?) tribes were at work here,...
Very interesting. The coin is about twice as thick as normal. I guess two planchet stuck together when the coin was minted.
Yes exactly true. I think many of these tiny and typically ugly copper imitations are practically unsellable if they were not attributed to the...
