AI can only do so much, and is easily confused. Even though some of the records on Coryssa aren't where they should be, that's a relatively easy...
Wow, pretty cool! And here I didn't even realize there were coins minted in his name.
I think the (valid, in my opinion) point that Rasiel is trying to make is that if someone is going through the trouble to design a site like OCRE,...
Weird; I thought Prados was based in Spain? But I've had similar experiences, and it's never fun. Always feels so helpless!
I always thought OCRE and ANS had kinda unreliable search features. They seem to miss things. Even if it's ostensibly more powerful, it's not very...
I did, and managed to get a win at what I consider a surprisingly good price. Looking forward to seeing the coin, which I will post once it's in...
I would argue that you have to concede their 'Romanness' in order to grasp who they were. It's clear that they saw themselves as the heirs to Rome...
I finished watching a couple nights ago. Enjoyed it quite a bit, even if there were a few bits that seemed a little corny. The historian talking...
I can’t speak for anyone else’s coins, but the one I posted is just as yellow in hand as in the picture.
I was the underbidder on the top coin, so congrats ;) Indian coins have a lot of mysteries, and I've been on a bit of a binge of them recently. I...
I checked RPC Online, which can be narrowed by mint, emperor, metal, and size. Here's the goat type @TIF mentioned, which looks nothing like this....
@dougsmit, I'm not an expert on these either, but I have one which is stamped DD (faint, and doesn't photograph very well). Interpreting these is...
Pretty awesome! Here's hoping they help you make some progress on your research, which I hope you'll share with us.
I don't see a BPV countermark listed in Howegego, which is the main reference for these. It's old and missing a lot of things, though. It's...
Yes, I think it's definitely Mercury. I haven't been able to date it any more securely than Imperial, though. There are similar pieces listed on...
Very nice piece! All I have from this period is a tiny rude fragment, but here’s an Imperial era weight that was probably an uncia before being...
I don't have any Roman coins with a peacock and I hadn't really thought about their relation to consecration. Very interesting! Here's a Samian...
An ideal system would be, as @Terence Cheesman has suggested, something close to what exists in the UK. Finds are recorded so that context and...
I call a Hadrian, a Verus, and an Aurelius... is that Cato the Elder behind Hadrian in the first one? EDIT: Just noticed Caracalla hiding......
Here's a recent acquisition I'm really proud of. It comes from another Cointalker. It is a Kushan-era Buddhist terracotta from modern day...
