One last coin for today is this bronze of Antioch in Pisidia, with a phenomenal bust of Geta... [ATTACH]
Another coin found poking around in pick bins, a small bronze of Abdera with a perfectly-centered griffin, all around well-struck, with a lovely...
I like this coin immensely - it's exactly the sort of Numidian bronze I would buy any day of the week. As Ken says, they are usually crappy, with...
Here is king Micipsa. I'll buy any and all of these Numidian bronzes that I find in decent shape. The curious thing about this coin is that the...
The thing is, the prow IS adorned with some sort of animal, but I've never seen an example of this type clear enough to make a guess. It sure does...
Here is a bronze of Amphipolis during Roman Republic rule over Macedonia, 1st-century BC. Zeus obverse, with prow of galley on reverse. This coin...
Here's the Sasanian king Kavad I, fire altar with attendants... [ATTACH]

Yes - only one, but rare - a hemidrachm of Hadrian, Caesarea Cappadocia, mis-marked as a quinarius. Actually, a quinarius would have been just as...
I see that you are right. So Priapus is indeed a good assumption, as well as Poseidon. SNG Cop is inconsistent. On a 12mm denomination, this guy...
Thanks Chris - that's a great clue! I love 1st-century Alexandrian tetradrachms for their size and fabric. Here's Vespasian with Nike, not at all...
I had a lot of fun digging through boxes yesterday. Here are some of my finds, in no particular order. This first coin is rather humble, a bronze...
They don't get any better than that! :wideyed:
Lol! No, my wife is the bomb. She's actually coming along with me to Baltimore today.
There is only one thing that I can think of that would stop my from going to NYINC every year for the rest of my life, and that is the Grim Reaper.
Nice write-up! I've got the horse saddled for Baltimore tomorrow - nothing like the excitement of a big show. I see that Time Machine is on the...
