This is why I love provincial coins! What a great "story coin", Pete. :)
Gorgeous reverse! I have a fondness for coins showing Pan. It is very artistic. Beautiful rendition of Zeus-Ammon.
Maybe LII is the dealer's code for how much he paid for the coin (£52) and £100 was his asking price. Many dealers (and collectors) record what...
Gawd, time flies!! :D
:oops: ... This reverse type is the most interesting rendition of Juno Sospita I've seen, not that I've seen everything or even a small fraction...
The logic seems reasonable to me. I've added an entry for "Uncertain city, PANNONIA". Very cool coin! Added. I see you haven't even finished...
More like 16 :D. (Actually, I think he's ~18.)
WOW! That's a special Secret Saturn, Chris! Big ole happy birthday to you, CoinBro. I think you were one of the first people I met over on CCF...

Five bucks is a heck of a deal!
I didn't consider the context of your first question when I answered. The coin Doug showed in the first post is not the type commonly called...
They are extremely common. http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/uncleaned.html
I have that written down for the obverse on most of the coins in this group: bust left, possibly Apollo :D The circled coin has a relatively...
I really wasn't sure so I went to ACsearch and checked weights for this Domna/Juno coin which was issued in both denominations. Spot-checking a...
I think you're mostly right :)... the denomination is a denarius rather than quinarius. It's too heavy for a quinarius even with loss of metal....
As @ValiantKnight pointed out, there seems to be a Vandal in the house. Admittedly I don't know much about that period in coin history. At first...
