Great coin and write-up! Here are my two Khwarezmians: [ATTACH] Ala ad-Din Muhammad II, Khwarezmian Empire, BI Jital, 1200–1220 AD, Kurzuwan...
Just as @TIF said, there's absolutely nothing wrong with this. I should have expressed myself more clearly. When I confessed to 'auction...
I couldn't agree more. 120% of the low starting prices still seems more than fair to me, and it would be absurd to expect @Severus Alexander to...
...and a most worthy placeholder it is. Wow! I'm still glad you decided to sell the one that I got, and can't wait to hold it in hand. And you...
That's exactly how I feel about this coin from the AMCC auction (lot 39): [ATTACH] I've been actively looking for a lifetime tetradrachm for...
Thanks, and it's good to know that the coin was consigned by you. I can promise you that your Hadrian will continue to be cherished and...
What a lucky day! I got all coins that I wanted most strongly, and am now waiting for some fun pick bin items. Also, I was very surprised to see...
This thread made me get this one: [ATTACH] Thessaly, Trikka, hemidrachm, 2nd half of 5th c. BC. Obv: Youthful hero, Thessalos, holding a band...
Thanks for the info – I learned something!
What the heck happened to that Republican denarius?! Do you have a theory on that? (Also, thanks for showing this fascinating selection of coins.)

Nice coins! The 3 Polker coins are interesting since they were issued by different 17th century authorities, changing only the shield but keeping...
@Clavdivs, this might be a modest coin, but, at least in my eyes, one with a fantastic portrait, especially for a provincial. Just look at how...
That's a very nice drachm with an expressive portrait – I like it a lot! Here are some of my Cappadocians, only one of which has a Mount Argaios...
For a second, I thought I had your obverse die match – yet, that turns out not to be the case. Still, my snub-nosed portrait is quite similar to...
Wow, that's useful information on the Lugdunum mint and quite a fascinating die match. Also, it's obvious that you did some serious research on...
Great coin! Though I'm keeping my eyes open for a temple reverse, this is so far my only Maxentius: [ATTACH] Maxentius, Roman Empire, AE...
In the past, I have bought some budget coins from frascatius, which were authentic and correctly described. Though I have never purchased more...
I have this coin from Alexandria Troas, and it took me a while to attribute it. It is neither listed in Bellinger: Coins of Troy (1961), nor in...
Here is a local imitation of @Parthicus' Kujula Kadphises tetradrachm. The Greek legend on the obverse is completely blundered and illegible:...
