We've recently seen Apollo Didymeus thanks to this detailed post by @Jochen-- the description of the ancient "animatronics" of the cult statue was...
Yep, I got it :). Received and paid the invoice this morning. The coin deserves a nice writeup plus I want to use my own photos even though...
Wow! That's some binge!! What a great assortment. Favorites: Philip III AE Herkles/bow case and club-- well struck, well centered, well...
Hi SIASL, Unfortunately, Ryro and others are right. These are cast fakes. You can seen the seams on all of the coins (less so on the "Galba"),...
Yes, which is what we are all doing... but the results are listed as "preliminary". I have been burned before by assuming I had won a lot which...
Oh! You're right! Thanks. MyKünker > Collection > shows all coins you've ever put on your MyKünker watch list; coins won have a green check...

That is cool! I had to look at it twice to understand how it could possibly be the same coin, even after reading your description! I think you...
That is also fake. Someone is telling you a whopper.
Your fake coin has little value as a collectible. Perhaps someone would want it as an example of a bad fake but I doubt it would bring more than...
That's a wonderful display/shrine, @Ryro! @Bing, your legionary denarii display is one for the ages. It would be hard to top that!...
Hi Graham, welcome to CoinTalk Ancients. I gather from your same post elsewhere on CoinTalk that you wish to know if your coin is authentic? It...
Congrats on the score, @Loong Siew! What a challenging set :).
What a fun assortment! I have no halved coins but would like a Nemausus Augusta and Agrippa half someday.
Looks like it was another interesting day for the Furry family! Here's another example of your Bizya Philip I, from CNG's archives: [IMG]...
Another Alexandrian, certainly exceptional for the type (and an amazing gift from my Secret Saturn 2018! ) [IMG] EGYPT, Alexandria. Aelius 137 CE...
