But the Gordians cleaned up pretty nicely, so what do I know? :)
Some of it looks like horn silver, and I don't think you can make it look better by cleaning it. Some coins you just have to accept for what they...
Is she a descendant of Dicey Langston? Dicey was a Revolutionary War hero. Her first name was Laodicea. After the war she married a man named...
My final oddity for the day is this Licinius I, emperor-borne-by-eagle type. This just has to be barbarous, or I'll eat my hat... [ATTACH] For...
Well, if you're going to splurge on your birthday for a denarius of Niger, of course you'd want an unpublished one. Well-done! :)
I could find nothing similar for Crispus or Licinius II. I agree with TIF and Bing that the so-called imitative coin does not look imitative. So...
Well, there is a coin of Constantine II listed on Wildwinds as imitative... [ATTACH] Can this coin really be considered barbarous??

I believe the coin on which you thought you saw Romulus and Remus is one of the two-emperors types issued by Arcadius, Honorius, and Theodosius...
It could also be the CONCORDIA AVG(GG) type, issued by Arcadius, Honorius, and Theodosius II. I can't see in your pic whether the cross is...
The tiny AE4 cross types were minted by Theodosius II and Valentinian III. They are rarely as sharp as the example on Warren's page. If any of the...
The book we need to solve this mystery is The Autonomous Bronze Coinage of Sicyon, by Jennifer Warren. Does anyone have it? It's available as a...
Yeah but I searched all of CNG and could not find that coin. There is a larger denomination with Apollo facing right and dove, but none like Pish's.
Yeah, I'm not afraid of the mods. Just remember that Doug is always watching! [ATTACH]
Interesting. It certainly looks like the dove of Sikyon. The weight puts it at a chalkous, but the only chalkoi of Sikyon that I know of have a...
No coins to share, but that's a well-detailed example Red. Nice find!
