Nice coin! Makes me reminisce about my earlier years metal detecting in the UK. Didn't find anything half as nice as this though...
Awesome find and in decent condition, too. I'm always partial to coins of Hadrian as you can probably tell from my avatar...
Here's mine... not as nice as yours... Looks like it could be a reverse die match to yours though... [ATTACH]
I love the detail on this denarius and bought a similar one like this a while back. I love the 3D view of the galley and the fluidity of the...
Yeah, I noticed some Toronto Maple Leafs paraphenalia on the left... go Leafs!
Agree - all appear to be genuine, but as this is not my area of collecting I can't be of help on the identification side.
Agree with everyone else - perfectly fine.
The "Domitianus sestertius" is actually Hadrian. I noticed Carus, Postumus, Tetricus, Constantine I and II, Delmatius, Septimius Severus,...
Believe it or not, I used a product called "Gun Blue" from Outers which hunters normally use to clean rifles. I read about it in a metal detecting...
Like others, I had a terrible time trying to find a Volusian in good condition at a reasonable price. I came across a French hoard from Brittany...
Yep, looks like a fake imitating a Tiberius tribute penny. Looks like you can see the casting seam on the edge, and the bust style looks very...
Usually a large number of coins with identical dies would imply that they are fakes, but these all look perfectly genuine and the auction house is...
Great job cleaning up the coin, and nice coin!
Wow. crazy stuff, but yes, there are a lot of fake fractions floating around, so despite the numbers, a certain level of analysis is required. My...
I like the helmet with the feathered crest... haven't seen a coin with that before!
I would call it silvered rather than plated. A thin coat of silver wash was applied on these 3d century antoninianii which was different than the...
Beautiful coin - should clean up nicely!
It also looks like it's cast on the side that's in focus. Looks suspect to me.
Fascinating accounts of the palladium... I had seen it on coin descriptions, but had no idea what it was. Thanks for the history lesson!
I would agree that the overstrikes were intentional, not errors. In the early period of Magna Grecian coinage, there are examples of staters of...
