No one will buy that coin at such an insane price. We've all seen eBay listings in which the seller asks a million dollars (or some other clearly...
Yes, nice revival! I enjoyed the fact sheet all over again :D Also, in the intervening years there was an ownership change of a coin shown on...
Ancient coins won't be exact unless they are die matches and even then there will be differences.
Perhaps the reverse is Perseus holding a harpa and Medusa's severed head. (Gallienus BMC 15 on the page Doug linked; also see examples here and here)
From his camera :D It's his coin. RIC is for Roman Imperial coins, so Provincials are generally not found there. You'll have to dig through...
Interesting question! Are those two marks always known as a pair, one obverse and one reverse? In other words, it is certain that they were...
Maybe this :D [ATTACH]
I don't see the ram's horn but it's hard to say for sure with the one suboptimal image. I'd love to know why it is touted as Marcus Aurelius....
The British Museum has some examples. Their website is frustrating because the coin images are often not well lit and surprisingly they don't...
Here's another old reference from the ISEGRIM hit list, again without a plate though. Friedrich Imhoof-Blumer, Kleinasiatische Münzen, 1901....
Very nice, @Justin Lee :) So far I have just one Pautalian provincial and I've shown it many times :D [IMG] THRACE, Pautalia. Caracalla CE...
Oh, yay!! Good job tracking it down. This morning I'm looking for an online example. First I used @Ed Snible's front end for ISEGRIM to locate...
That would make identifying it even more satisfying :) I'm digging through more sources now.
First impression is Augstus (or other Julio-Claudian)/ Zeus seated left, holding eagle (or Nike or Palladium) and sceptre. Perhaps Sebaste in...
Those are both fabulous 99¢ coins!
Hmm, I think it looks more like #106 or 107 (a bucranium?) but they aren't quite the same. Anyway, sounds like something to keep in the back of...
We (well, at least I and a some others) love humor on this board :) TheOminusOne was just giving the onomatopoeic version of a classic rimshot to...
Nice one, @1934 Wreath Crown :) As for the thread purpose... it has been attempted a few times in recent memory but unlike on other CT boards,...
If you haven't already looked there, scroll down this Forvm page to find a handy dandy visual guide to the countermarks of Persian sigloi :)...
That countermark is the head of Tyche. Note the turreted crown, which is emblematic of Tyche. The OP happened to post this same type of coin...
