Thanks for the info. It's a beautiful antoninianus. The silver plating, if it isn't solid, is remarkably intact. Aurelian also reformed the...
That is a really nice antoniannus! I wonder what the silver content is - or is it plated? Out of curiosity which auction did you find it in? Not...
I agree that this thread has become pretty much useless due to these postings w/o explanation. I do have experience with ancients & really need...
I wonder if someone in his legions saved the coin. Then years later, perhaps after Augustus, one of the Legionaire's children put it back into...
Interesting. Leu just auctioned an antoninianus of Zenobia. I think she issued coins w/ her portrait around 271? It was nice bur a little...
Yes but 1724 is Not a common year of those big gold coins. I think it's 53 grams? Also very nice grade: congratulations.
Congratulations on the 1888 Indian. I like your coin better than the coinfacts photo. But I think their photo is better done: perhaps a little...
I think that's an excellent price & and a JC elephant denarius in that grade would bring at least 2x that were it on a major numismatic site. The...
Well it appears that the privy mark is a simple punch. Thus if you don't get one from the mint, couldn't you could simply stamp your own privy...
I was always hoping to get one but they're expensive. In fact my phone # ends in 1795 as I was always wanting a Flowing Hair $. The '94 is quite...
Well your post begs the GTG question: what grade is your Flowing Hair dollar? I'm going to go for AU-50. How close or far away am I? I like the...
A very nice provincial AE. I note that there is some interest in these among advanced collectors. I guess people would call your coin a...
Wow -- thanks. I deal with CNG as I'm originally from Pennsylvania but I don't look thru their stuff a thoroughly as I should. Not only is the...
A very impressive Antonine Era denarius! Where did you find it?
There was recently an article about a kitty that somehow got 800 miles closer to home. Eventually she was picked up and returned to the owner....
I'd like the 1896-P Morgan $. I don't have that date of Morgans and I like silver and the coin appears very nice. It's also as close as I'm...
It does look better than an EF. For the higher grades it depends on the surface quality which is hard to tell in this photo.
Sigh... Yes I recall a story years ago of someone buying a silver milarense cheaply on EBay. Yours is an exceptionally nice coin but it does...
I just tuned in to a Heritage weekly auction which was comprised of Walkers. So many very big #'s like MS-66 or 67's yet the coins were...
Well you motivated me to look for my own Colosseum coin. I just bid on the Heritage Gordian III piece but was outbid. I think it was slightly...
