@Steelers72 I found your coin so I know the auction house from which you purchased it and I can absolutely vouch for their integrity. I recently...
As far as the edge chip, goes, I don't think it affects the value of the coin. The cleaning marks do.
In my opinion, broad field smoothing or tooling should always be mentioned, especially on silver coins. In this case, the "smoothing" is probably...
I missed this thread when it was posted last year, I should pay more attention. I won a lot in the Soler y Llach sale yesterday and was surprised...
Beautiful example @Terence Cheesman. The folles of Maxentius as Caesar from Carthage are quite scarce but also particularly interesting since it...
@Victor_Clark fabulous collection. the Diocletian is near perfect in all regards. Of the first and second tetrarchy I have only Severus from...
I have purchased several coins from Naumann at auction. they've been around for quite a while. They have always shipped promptly for me. Other...
@RedStallions Although I'm not a specialist in Severans, I have a couple and I'll share them at the end, but I just want to say how impressed I...
Very nice additions to your RR collection Donna. Here are a couple of early quinarii and the other denarius type struck by Memmius with head of...

That is correct. This was one of the early departures from the Dioscuri, Victory, or Luna reverses that dominated the denarius coinage for its...
These are not my coins, but this issue has been on my want-list for years. relatively common in low grade but decidedly scarce in nice condition....
@Andrew McCabe Excellent presentation. Although I generally don't collect AE from the period, this was enlightening in its relevance to the...
I haven't sold many coins at auction for years, but about 10 years ago, I sold most of my collection of middle and high grade Roman Imperial coins...
This coin has the top four slots in ACSearch when sorting search results by hammer descending, the most recent sale of it (in ACSearch) being June...
Regarding unusually high prices in auctions nowadays, I almost got up at 4am, willing to bid up to 100 euros for this lot in the last Kueker...
To contradict myself a bit, my own single win was had for almost double the estimate, but then it was the lowest estimate in the RR group.
This and a few others were just over estimated. This Victoriatus was hyped as "FDC" and notably discussed in another CT thread, but failed to...
