@don oswald, Welcome. You've seen several links to lots of information and many references to some good books for beginners. I would highly...
Great thread. Many rare examples. Here are a few quinarii that haven't been cited so far:[ATTACH] The style of this example is closest to RRC...
High state (minimal wear, centering, style, fabric, metal quality, surface, toning, roundness) is usually rare.
Clicked on the email CT Update and expected to see coins like this one from my earlier days of collecting English copper. Penny of 1853 [ATTACH]
Everyone against whom I am bidding is paying the same buyer's premium, so I don't have a problem paying it as long as I have a clear understanding...
That's a good question to which I must admit I do not know the answer (but should research). I would speculate that the unit of reckoning in the...
Jordan, I think you should try for the next 45/1 denarius to complete your X/V set. They are only going for only about $10K when they do emerge....
@Carthago, your focus or not, these are highly impressive gold examples and important parts of the whole story. I only dream of such treasures....
Yes, this is because many cataloguers don't look beyond the first anonymous issue in Crawford, or worse, use Spink/Sear Roman Coins and their...
@Michael Stolt, FYI, Pierluigi Debernardi and I used an image of your coin in an article on 53/2 in the 2018 Revue Numismatique.
The marks of value were Asses. I'm afraid my collection contains few bronzes. Not that they are not interesting to me, but my resources have not...
With two new coins from recent sales by Roma and NAC, I've completed a couple of trio sets of the denarius / quinarius / sestertius. I've shared...
Ok here is my picture of the coin. The variation is quite scarce, stylistically in every way a sub-variety of RRC 44/5 group 2 but without the...
Really exceptional Eukratides tetradrachm. The hammer price also looks very favorable.
Of course, the coin won't stay in the "flip" for long. It need to join the rest of my collection.
I won a single lot from the recent Roma Numismatics Auction (E-sale 56, lot 641 - more about the coin later). Opening the envelope revealed what...
Aidan, Two really great examples. I considered bidding on the 61/1. It is a scarce and interesting variety that rarely comes in high grade....
Just received my shipping tracking info today. I won this quinarius, a common variety with unbound hair and helmet wing pointing downward. I did...
I love these big cast early Roman coins. they are particularly impressive in hand. I've held them in my hand but never owned one. Thanks for...
I am one who saves catalogs with a semi-hoarder mentality, but its now becoming a problem. Just yesterday I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out...
