Well, alright :-) Any collection worth pursuing typically has a good number of common representatives and a handful of specimens so rare that...
Thank you, yes, Regalianus (click this link for details). This was in the Roma sale that closed just the other day that had lots of other goodies....
Last night I welcomed to my collection a very coveted coin and am now one step closer to finishing my one-of-each type set of Roman emperors that...
I think this will be of interest to some of you. Here's a series from some of the big names in the business to compare photography styles. Ideally...
Wow, can you just imagine popping this out of the ground with your trowel?
Very rare, yes. Only one such coin in my database (out of 34,000 coins for this emperor) That's pretty impressive! I agree with the feeling that...
"nummus" isn't a denomination. It just means coin in Latin. As we don't know what their contemporary terms were (centenionalis and maiorina were...

The numeral is muddied, yes, but the spacing is consistent for a VII. And it can't be VIII because then the TR P IIII would be a mismatch....
And it would be a flop. The problem with this is that it's relatable only to history buffs. The world at large is ignorant of what happened on...
Wut, seriously? Use a hacksaw if you're that worried. Hell, it's gold. You could dunk it in battery acid and a couple hours later there'd be...
That is a beautiful coin and amazing state of preservation.... wow! I agree with you that for certain coins (like this one, high grade modern...
I meant to ask for your last name via a private message but I don't know how to do this :-( If you'd rather your name not be published then ignore...
Thank you Martin, I appreciate that!
Definitely rare. I've come across only one of this type and it was a different officina. Ok if I add this to my database? I'd like to add it to...
Well, there's degrees of certainty to be sure. There's no 100% factual guarantee that it was minted in Arles (or even by Constantius II for that...
Separate names with a comma.
