Does anyone happen to own any coins featuring Lucilla, the daughter of Marcus Aurelius & Faustina, and sister of Commodus? I’d really like to get...
I’ll definitely check it out when I get some time. Thanks! :) I think there is one huge difference between Caligula & Genghis Khan. The brain...
Edit: First of all I want to apologize for the length of this post. I kind of got going and it was huge before I realized it. Feel free to skim....
Awesome coin!
Hmm nope I haven’t seen on of those yet. I do know Caligula was seperated from his 3 sisters Agrippina, Drusilla and Livilla when he was a child...
LCS = local coin shop aka the shops you see if you Google coin shops in your city. PM = Precious Metals: Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium....
Thanks me too! I love that not only is it a super old coin but it’s also a pretty decent sized coin. Over half a troy ounce of silver. It makes...

Anyone happen to know why NGC weighed the Antoninus denarius but not the Trajan one? It’s like they put extra info like that and a description of...
Oh wow that’s crazy. I wonder if Gresham’s Law came into play and people started using all their lightest denarii for spending and keeping the...
Nice ones! I’ll definitely check out that thread. Just curious: How come your denarius of Antoninus is 3.15 grams and mine is 3.55 grams? Was...
It is addictive but unfortunately my budget is limited. As for the toning. You’re right! My Hadrian has a beautiful rainbow toning around the...
Oh wow! 1,000+ coins that’s amazing! Speaking solely about myself I don’t think my collection will ever be that huge. I usually only buy 1-2...
Happy belated birthday!! Very cool note! Is that blood?
So then if it doesn’t matter that the denarius is worth more in silver (3.9g nearly pure silver) then that means it would’ve made more sense to a...
Yes absolutely! At least the NGC slab says “It looks okay to us but we can’t guarantee it.” It’s someone with more experience than me saying it....
