I wasn't convinced when bidding, but after getting replies on CT I am convinced I added a new face in the collection :D I am also interested about...
Thank you Ryro... to bad your coin is incomplete. Frankly I wasn't convinced it's an Otho. I can't wait to receive the coin - I intend to clean it...
For me, this is good news as a new emperor is welcome. I will think if the coin should be soaked in distilled water - perhaps the deposits would...
Thanks, I will take a photo of the coin when it arrives. So it appears it really is an Otho coin? not bad with all the imperfections. Thank you...
Will have to check it in hand, no idea what that is ... and I suspect this will remain the same with the coin in hand.
That's my idea too, thank you for looking. Domitian, Nero and Claudius have (somehow) similar portraits. The legend would have been a major plus,...
Hello ladies and gentlemen, Otho is not present in my albums, this shouldn't be a big surprise as we all know the prices for his coins .... so my...
I will give you just a hint - fallen horseman. Try to search this and see what do you find out.
I have nothing against worn coins. And I like the OP coin (I see you reconsidered the decision of switching to raw modern coins, I am still...
This is good. You are already aware that if a coin is old, it doesn't mean automatically it's expensive. There are people who think this and other...
I totally agree the coin is hard to pinpoint. I just checked Dane's Excel and the Constantinople examples in RIC are RIC VII Constantinople 63...
Coincidentally, the Domitian with Minerva Victrix I posted had horn silver but much more distracting than your specimen. [ATTACH] I used the...
This is why in antiquity they called it Peg Rear Endus
I don't think it's 63. The mintmark (in the exergue, bottom of the reverse) appears to end in CONST This would indicate RIC VII Arles 369 PCONST,...
Your coin is from a series called City Commemoratives. Similar example https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=8908783 On this exceptional page...
I would recommend getting it slabbed. This would make sure it has a safe environment and could also increase the value if you intend to sell it....
I like the denarius, @DonnaML. As usually, you acquire great coins with great eye appeal. And I fully understand the need to add a non Minerva...

@expat - the "Identify a coin" link? the main page works for me too but I mean that particular section Edit - posted in the same time. I noticed...
I love the OCRE "Identify a coin" subpage - trying to search parts of the legend to identify coins. https://numismatics.org/ocre/ I used it for...
