So many Roman reverse types are static, but this one has great motion. The way the galley is tilted upward, the waves, and the banner flapping in...
Nice clean coin, and an expressive portrait.
OK Steve, I went and bought a coin of Faustina II, just to post it in your thread. I'm glad I looked though, because this coin gives me three...
Well, I've done that often enough, so let me go take a look and see if I can find something I like.
Possibly a prutah of Herod Agrippa. That's the best I can do.

Just PM me Doug with anything you want to unload. I put you on the list for the private sale. You'll get a PM in a few days.
I'm in the process of photographing the lot today. (Bing has consigned them to me.) I'll send a PM to all the regulars on this forum first, then...

That's a damn fine shot.
Everybody is a little different in that respect. But yes, really. There are millions of coins I'm never going to own for one reason or another...
That's what I like about this forum. I don't collect many Eastern or Medieval coins, but I enjoy reading the posts by the collectors that do. I...
