Nice coins,@Clavdivs. I like the Cales a lot. Congratulations! I picked up the coin below earlier this year. I've always been interested in the...
On a side note: when may we slow the slow drumroll for post no. 10.000 in this thread?:) Only 75 to go... This must be one of the longest threads...
A ruin...[ATTACH] Next: legend in a language that is not Roman or Greek.
Well, that's good news! I know of at least one well-known 'manufacturer' this side of the Atlantic whom I'd happily see share a similar fate.
My thought as well. I think I can just make out: .... VS CAESAR TI AUG around the portrait. One of my biggest failures is ID-ing other people's...
Me too... The only thing with some resemblance is this: [ATTACH] You get the rayed star, the pellets and an ear of grain (just) on the reverse....
Perhaps also a good thing to remember: legal is not (necessarily) the same as ethical. Pre-1970 or 2010 or pre-whenever tells you exactly nothing...
Yeah, I thought it looked a bit flat...;) Seriously: nice coin!:) Here's a quatrunx: (try that in Scrabble!) [ATTACH] HNItaly 671; ICC 339....

Since this thread has been kissed back to life again: here's a bearded Herakles I like. [ATTACH] Given the condition of my eyes, I should focus...
Haee? Who said Greek legends were difficult? Still working on this one...:D
Interesting question. I wish I knew the answer. The earliest coins in my collection that use it are 'ΝEΑΠΟΛΙΤΩΝ' and 'ΣΥΡΑΚΟΣΙΩΝ' respectively,...
This one came attributed as: 'Greek coin ca. 80-40 BC'. At least they narrowed it down to 'coin'.:) [ATTACH] Next: an unpublished variety.
My God! Without an export license?!:banghead:
Thanks for the info, @red_spork. Those are impressive numbers. At 10.000 coins per obverse die (?), that makes well over 10 million denarii...
Nice coins!:) Here's mine from the 90BC issue, die-break included. [ATTACH] I just spent a half-hour browsing acsearch and CNG, looking for a...
[ATTACH] Ryro goes west, I go east. Next: easternmost regions of the Greek world.
I placed bids on two coins and won both. Though bids went up in the last few seconds I got both one increment under my max. I did increase my max...
