I tend to like the style of her coins from Laodicea more than the ones from Rome. Braids before waves. Nice pickup. Could someone kindly post a...
I concur. #81. Martin, Antioch has two laureate bust types (one of which is for Constantine, the other for the sons) and three diademed bust...
I'm going to tag along with Zumbly and add a couple to the pot, both from Thessalonika. One has the AVGG reverse ending and the other the AVG....
Martin, I'm guessing that you were done in by a hidden reserve, that was not met, and a start bid set below it. I hate that practice, but know...
I resonate to both of these remarks. I have seen such things and it is outrageous. But in that lies the danger and the problem. Whether or not...
The guy backed out of selling Ken a fake. I would expect that knowledge makes Ken a little happier about not getting the coin. If so, that is a...
Ah, this changes everything. It would seem that the seller had found out it was a fake and did not actually intend to sell it, but it slipped in...
Or it may be that those commissioned to do the work came to know their subject well, for it was his sons who later used this motif, in an only...
It is and it isn't. EBay frowns on this sort of thing, and if you open a case against the seller, they will attend to it. But eBay will not...
Returning to the Constantine memorial issue quadriga and hand-of-God type: Alexandria with S - R high in fields left and right [ATTACH] While...

That is all probably true. My example was bought in 2001 as a special direct purchase from an eBay seller who called himself "augustus." (He was...
It never ceases to amaze me how much you and I are alike. My reaction to all that was EXACTLY the same as yours, right down to "no thanks." I...
Returning to the type of the OP, different mint: this reverse with Victory at Thessalonika could be just as busy as it was at Aquilea -...
There are not many occasions when I have regretted not becoming conversant in French. Learning of this man and his career has occasioned that...
Nice posthumous Carus. Not quite 20 years ago I was able to buy a nice group of ants at a CICF show, including these three from Tripolis:...
I have to admit that for these reduced folles of Helena the issues from Alexandria for the second and third series are my favorites of them all....
Kind of an ancient thing for the ancients thing, eh?
I think we got the picture on the OP coin. I'm satisfied with what we can say about that exergual mark up to this point, which I take to be a...
