Mind you, I don't see anything suspicious about it, just a warning about these coins in general.
Unfortunately, a lot of these are still being made in Bulgaria. I would need such a coin to be thoroughly vetted for authenticity, starting with a...
Yeah, I'll take an Indian drachm with extra schnoz please, hold the pickles. I am completely unfamiliar with this coinage, but I did get a chance...
Plugging away at a few more coins today. This is a hemilitron of Himera, Sicily, 420-409 BC. Himera (Termini), on the north coast of Sicily, was...
I've always wanted to take a good image of this coin, but the patina is so thick and glossy, I've never managed it... [ATTACH] There are some...
Superb coin, and great sleuthing! Whenever I see pics from older catalogs, I'm always struck by how much of a gamble older collectors were taking,...

Do you know if the examples from La Venera and Estiot are of the same obverse die? Because if they are, I would be inclined to call the coins an...
As long as we've got an LRB pile-on... [ATTACH] Constantine I, AD 306-337 Æ Follis, 20mm, 3.29g, 12h; Siscia mint, AD 320. Obv.: CONST-ANTINVS...
LRB's are still among my favorite coins. The prices may make them humble, but there is nothing humble about the vast sea of history and...
That's pretty cool.
I'm going to win the powerball anyway, so it doesn't matter. :)
Same here. Think one point will win me a prize? lol
Of course, I could be wrong also, but on style alone, there is nothing Roman about those coins. If some scholar has assigned them to the Rome...
There's nothing about your coin that looks like it was a Roman emission. Perhaps someone confused it with the type I posted.
Interesting coin. Clearly the emission of a provincial mint. I assume it's Antioch? I also have a little bronze of Trajan's meant for circulation...
