Thanks Orfew. I always enjoy seeing your example as well!
I think ole' Bootikin may have been as brilliant as he was crazy. [ATTACH] Gaius (Caligula). AD 37-41. AR Denarius, 3.67 g. Rome mint. Struck...
That was hilarious, he was like a coin gangster making an offer that couldn't be refused...except it was refused and the dunce had to leave the...
I'm certainly no expert, but the style of the example on the left does not look good to me at all. There are many, many fakes of the...
I've been Clio'd but I've been Vespasian70'd so many times, I'm resigned to only buying Flavians he's already got in his collection. :banghead: :D
Thanks Greg. Yes it's mine. For a certainty, one of my nicest portraits.

Thanks David. The way I see it, the only options with this date combination is either RIC 737, IMP XXII or 732, IMP XXI. With the spacing between...

If you can find me a decent example for $500, not to mention one with KP, I would be much obliged. These coins are priced based on artistry,...
Here's mine. There are tons of reproductions out there, I would be extremely cautious buying these off eBay. For me, even 1% doubt robs me of...
I think if you use a tripod, and try to position the camera directly over the coin, the results will improve dramatically. Beware, once you start,...
Orfew, I like your picture more as well. It does need to be in better focus. Do you have the camera on a tripod?
Thanks Matt. David, I wouldn't have been on the lookout for that Vespasian if it hadn't been for your example! Doug those are great. Hard...
Thanks. If anyone knows who owns the aureus, I'm leaving an empty slot in my coin cabinet.
Thanks guys. David's assumption of a shared workshop makes perfect sense.
Here are two rarer denarii of Vespasian and Titus from my collection, both with the same reverse die. (Interestingly, this same die was also used...
