tashabay, love that blazing luster :happy:. Hey, what's a couple years between friends :hilarious:.
Finn235, Good choice for a thread. Your barbarous radiate looks like it was made by the local blacksmith :hilarious:. Attached are photos of a...
Nice catch :p! The poor fellow who did the die work must have been hired from a Temp Agency :shame:.
VDB, Nice addition of the Augustus denarius ;). I've only owned 3 nice portrait coins of Augustus, & one I really regret selling 6 years ago at a...
The Oea bronze is really puzzling. I think it's just a case of sloppy handling, especially considering how far off the rotation is & the diameter...
Xodus, I found both of these coin types illustrated in AcAlee's book exactly where coinproject.com referenced them. The top coin is superior to...
The reverse legend looks blundered o_O.
Attached are photos of two more coins I'm sending back to NGC for corrections with the next submission. The 1st coin is pictured in McAlee's book...
Ocatarinetabellachitchix, McAlee lists only two small bronze coins with a left facing bust of Diadumenian, on page 283, #749 & 750, & it appears...

GregH, Nice group of late gold ;)! You're right about the cost factor of late Roman gold. Attached are photos of a Honorius solidus from Ravenna...
panzerman, That's a complex composition for such a tiny Celtic coin, & fantastic strike :jawdrop:! This was not a tribe of barbarians.
Cascade, Your Jewish war shekel looks like a counterfeit, hopefully it didn't cost you too much. All the 1st Revolt shekels have been heavily...
IdesOfMarch01, Nice score! I agree, your example is definitely a "high-end" for the type. These coins are not rare but the best examples sell in...
