The Nabataean queens Huldu and Gamilat on sela'im (that happen to include their husbands Aretas IV and Rabbel II)... [ATTACH]
Well, as they say...if there's any doubt, there's no doubt. Doug's point is probably the best. The coin is not a keeper whether it's genuine or not.
Some nice rarities there, @Roman Collector! I wasn't a member of this forum when this thread was first posted, but I'll contribute a curious duo...
Not at all - very nice, with a a red Antioch patina to boot.
All good points indeed. As far as I'm concerned, I'm only beginning to study the history and coinage of the Valentinian and Theodosian Dynasties,...
This coin is even smaller at 1g, 10mm. The cross types of Theodosius II come in wreath and legend varieties. The CONCORDIA AVGGG legend types are...
I have three coins to post, which are Valentinian and Theodosian AE4's - some very tough types to find with acceptable details since they were so...

Two very desirable coins! The bust of Micipsa is nicely detailed, and so is Homer. If one is patient and astute, "nice" Greek bronzes don't have...
As I said earlier in the thread, when you posted the seller's pics, I don't believe it's possible to upgrade that coin anymore! Well-done!
Nice find!
I assume it's the unrecorded officina?
So here is the stater of Thothorses I bought last week. I have not found a solution to lighting it on the copy stand, hence the in-hand pic....
I've had only good experiences with Cerberus, and they seem to be one of the vcoins dealers that lists at fairly reasonable prices.
Welcome to the forum!
Besides Doug, I may be the only other collector on this site intentionally assembling an LRB mint set, and it happens to be of these 2-and-2 types...
Great choice Topcat. I almost pulled the trigger on that coin myself, and I don't certainly don't need any more examples of the type.
The coin is pretty worn and unfortunately someone over-cleaned it, but it's one of the clearest bee marks I've seen. Obviously, without the mark,...
