Thanks for highlighting that some coins have appeared for sale again. I picked up a denarius from Germania Inferior Numismatics too. It was the...
There is one denarius of Augustus with a facing bust that I know of. See the link below...
Thanks for this. I suspected that I went through the same thing, so it's good to hear that others have had the same feeling. I don't think that...
It's also worth noting that TransferWise avoids interbank transfer fees. Because you're effectively transferring within the same bank. Wire...
As others have mentioned, weight and better pictures will help. Having said that, it looks like a poor quality cast fake, sorry.
Andres2's example has wear, but it is on the high points, as would be expected from circulation. Look at the eye on the obverse bust. It is still...
You're right! Mistake on my part. After thinking carefully I'll just add on this one, a humble Lysimachos tetradrachm. I originally hesitated to...

Unfortunately... if the thieves know they can't sell it, they will most probably just melt it down.
Looks like he's already been banned. His claims don't make sense. A dinar is supposed to weigh around 4.25 grams. That's not the correct weight...
I think all four share the same reverse die, yes.
Here are three double die matched coins. They show different states of die deterioration. Look closely at the "T" in TRP COS (reverse exergue) to...
Just a thought...Have you considered that silver drachmae of Caligula might not have been struck from pure silver in the first place?
Thanks very much pprp and all who posted in this thread. I think I understand a little better now.
