Steve, I forgot about your coin, how could I? Great piece! Here's a nice bronze of the Thessalian League. Not rare, but great style and detail......
Welcome to the club. Doug Smith supplied knowledge has led many of us to reassess our coin images and start over from scratch, lol.
Super coin, magnificent detail! I also think it's a centering dot - I measured the distances from the dot to the dotted border at four places, and...
Nice find Theo! I also like those finely-patterned surfaces you occasionally find on ancient silver.
The coin has charming character in hand - the color is closer to the third pic than the first two, a nice gray-silver. It has solid, if rugged...
Really nice follis of Magnentius. Coins of this usurper aren't exactly rare, but quite tough in this grade... [ATTACH]
13th-century Venetian grosso. The only reason I haven't collected one of these before is that so many of them are holed, or harshly cleaned. This...
You're in a higher spending bracket than I am, but I think between Harlan Berk and a few others, you'd find some good stuff for your collection....
Maybe a dozen that specialize in ancients, then some of the world coin dealers typically have a box or book or two of ancients in flips.
Here's a characteristic bronze of Tarsos - I know some of you have this coin because of the unique Pyre of Sandan. If you don't know about Sandan,...
My experience with shows and ancient coins is that most dealers just bring along the most common stuff, so I was surprised to find a couple of...
Various coins I found at the Baltimore show yesterday, in no particular order. Here is Vespasian, IOVIS CVSTOS reverse. I loved the expressive,...
I only bought about 25 coins today, so there's still plenty to go around. :)
I saw a lot of beautiful BIG Greek silver today, to the point of overkill, but I couldn't leave without this one. It's the one-grammers with great...
Great coin Mikey, and it's very cool to see your coin next to Steve's and compare the very different styles of galley.
Janus the god belongs exclusively to the Romans, but we do find Greek coins with janiform heads, like this diobol of Lampsakos that I found in...
What does the coin weigh? Does the seller offer a lifetime guarantee of authenticity? Because Alex III tets are some of the most counterfeited...
Great coin! It really does look like Zeus is seated in front of a mountain, Olympus no doubt. That's a helluva lot of detail for a 14mm coin!
This is in fact (if authentic), an extremely rare and valuable AE medallion of Maximian. It is so rare, that the safest thing to assume is that...
Nice Q! A very tough coin, and the your bust has exceptionally good style. Nice find!
