@Mat Thats a fantastic coin scratch and all. If that scratch keeps such an overall nice piece within your budget and out of others’ hands, so be it.
That’s a pretty nice example @Mat . I had a real devil of a time with these coins when I first started. Everyone looks the same the legends are...
I saw Jon Kern about a few days before this sale at a Chicago show. I’m hoping the coins were late of his collection not from the late Jonathan Kern.
Congrats on some really beautiful coins, Everyone who shared. It is very nice to see the VOT designs in silver after so many times in bronze.
So far I look for key letters when the legend is a little uncertain. Much like the way @TIF highlighted the X if you can narrow it down to a few...
I thought Tetricus as soon as I saw the portrait combined with the poor production quality typical of Gallic Empire/Crisis. Could be totally...
@Justin Lee That is a beautiful coin. Private sale or auction? The strike is very nice, strong detail and legends. I don’t own a Siliqua yet...
That’s a really attractive coin @Mat. I have been to under bidder in a few auctions recently for some tets of SSev. I have the glimmer of hope...

@Ardatirion and @vlaha First of all vlaha, understand that ancients are really about the adventure you go on. Some of that adventure will be...
That’s a great coin @Mat! I only have bronze from the Seleukids. Waiting to find a nice silver at a nice price. Most are overpriced in my...
@TheRed I am guessing that when you refer to mullet you mean the type of fish versus the haircut. I can’t make out anything that looks like a...
@Mat Another wow pickup! I have a small set of medieval pennies but I am missing a Henry 8.
Great coins @Mat and everyone. Also great info in this thread. I wasn’t aware that Egypt was a closed economy even while part of the empire.
@Mat what an amazing coin! I’m a stickler for legends and yours are pretty much unbeatable. I don’t know if I have ever seen clearer legends on...
Yes Gobl is the reference for these. That is quite the fancy helmet on Peroz. The helmets identify the ruler but I am not good yet at reading...
@Bing Yeah I have a similar example. At least I think I do, given the portrait and what I can make out of the legends. @Mat I nominate this...
here is a link to an interesting article about measuring the concentration of lead pollution from ancient times in ice cores from Greenland....
Thanks, @Orfew!
