Welcome to the board and a wonderful choice. [img] Augustus (27 BC-14 AD) AR Tetradrachm Syria-Antiochia ad Orontem O: KAIΣAPOΣ ΣEB_AΣTOY,...
Wow, that's in great shape for 65 years & being zink.
Nice, I like the bust on this one too. Better than his silver counterpart.
Looks like a fake with an artificial patina done to it.
Like @DonnaML I too have a 1792 Ecu. One of my favorite world coins I own, mainly for the toning. [img] Louis XVI (1774-1792 A.D.) AR Ecu Livre...

It's a more desirable type than the common "Livia seated" reverse. That's in swell condition too. I could see a dealer slap $1,000 - $1,350 for...
Agree, the owned coin is VENVS FELIX.
I forget about this one. Although not ancient, it's still hammered. It's one of the raggiest flans I own. Has a lovely hole to boot. [ATTACH]...
For obverse designs, these were always my favorite patterns. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have a soft spot for ragged flans. The one below was one of my earliest ancient coin purchases & I bought it at the time for the flan. Little...
I dislike the likes very much and it's possible in the other forums thread, the likes comment was in regards to a recent post of Alegandron or...
Surprised it didn't get any bids, that's a nice one, David. Congrats.
I don't own a single one either & I am pretty sure I've rooted out the "fakes".:cool:
All of them except Chinese. Just can't get into them.
