I really like the heroic bust types of Crispus, which come in many different varieties: CRISPV SNOBILC // BEATATRA NQLITAS -- VOT IS XX -- F...
I have only one coin of Crispus with consular bust IVL CRISPVS NOB CAES // BEATATRAN QVILLITAS -- VO TIS XX -- •PTR(crescent) Mint: Treveri...
I can see that the dating of this series is a major academic debate. I'm impressed by your detailed knowledge Seth77 and Heliodromus. I have...
Since his coins were only minted in one "German" mint (Mainz, Cologne or Trier), where Laelianus was active, it is plausible that the celator has...
Yes, both coins are in excellent condition. The VOT X even kept much of its original silvering.
Thanks a lot. I got this completely wrong and took Crispus' aged appearance on the VOT X as confirmation.

Some more Magnentius imitations from my collection [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This is my favorite unofficial Magnentius. The coin is smaller than official coins at 19.10 mm (weight 3.160 g), but the condition is superbe....
Agreed, this is definitely not a coin. The representation of the knight is also not medieval. Hence, this is a modern pendant of some sort.
Thanks a lot for the information on radiate busts of Constantine. It looks like the radiate crown survived a bit longer at certain mints,...
I found this coin on Ebay. The condition is not super, but the price was much lower than what I have seen in recent auctions. CONSTANTINVS AVG...
I found the following three denari on Ebay recently. They are all from the same seller. The price was quite low and I expected to be disappointed....
I tried, but it doesn't work. I offered USD 425 for a coin priced at 1798,80* (roughly 25%). My offer was automatically rejected. I'm sure this...
We could give Mr Zlobin something to do this weekend by offering 10% of his asking prices for his coins (which seems about fair).
