I'd definitely buy that (for a low price, of course) for my collection! It's so funny :D Doug's Zenobia too.
Safe travels, and have fun! :) Okay :). This one makes me smile for so many reasons: [IMG] ZEUGITANA, Carthage early 2nd century BCE AE...
As Ro points out, a very similar coin sold in a CNG auction last year, $253 (with BP). Unless the coin your trading is only worth about that much...
Hah, you got me :D Nice portrait on your new Trajan, and reverse is very graceful.
I don't, unfortunately, but have also admired and wanted the type! Your coin is a good example of the horror of FSR's photography, or are they...
WOW! Welcome welcome welcome, @papersplz! What a great introduction! Looking forward to your future posts :)
Wossip... you have gone way too far now, confirming the suspicion that I hinted at in my first post. You applaud the removal of the coin's images...
Hmm. It wasn't what I initially thought it was. [ATTACH] Try Erythrae in Ionia. Although this looks like an Alex the Great type, that's not...

I agree. Macrinus? How on earth did he make the list? And why is Ptolemy I so far down the list? As has been pointed out many times, Pontius...
Looks like patina.
I’d love to work on this tonight but alas the power plant is down, so back to the dark and internetless days :(. At least I have a bar of cell...
I was going to use that word again here too :D. @Mike Margolis, that portrait looks Augustusy or Tiberiusy to me :D (or really any of the early...
Hey, that looks interesting! That's going to be a great "virtual watercooler" show for the ancient enthusiasts here. I hope some coins sneak...
It's a coin of Roman emperor Aurelian, struck in Alexandria, Egypt. The denomination is called a tetradrachm but it's not like a Greek...
I thought eagle too, but it's just so hard to tell. At this point it most resembles an ogre wearing a sombrero and carrying a torch; snake in...
You can-- sell the coin for a dollar more than you paid :D. I'll help you out and buy it. Then the story will have another interesting chapter...
Nothing wrong with the coin, but with the pedigree and story, the value of the coin is markedly enhanced :D
