Yes. Excavations at Petra and other cities indicate extremely few coin finds of other civilizations, which indicates that Nabataean coinage was...
Technically I specialize in a culture that's mildly East, the Nabataeans. Although their cities centered around the South-Western Levant, their...
Nothing specific, just keeping my eyes open for interesting pieces at reasonable prices, that include all of the above. That really is a LOVELY...
And a trio of Indians... [ATTACH]
And to prove it, I'll post this nice Khusrau II I bought at the last Baltimore show... [ATTACH]
Hey, I've gone a little bit Eastern myself, which is largely due to your influence. And I plan to go even further this year.
No worries, just dentist crap. I didn't mean to hijack the thread.
Say, that's not a bad idea at all. I wonder what the dentist will say when I ask him to shape my gold tooth into a graven image of Dushares...
I've had some oral surgery and complications that have been dragging on for a long, painful month. And I'm going back this morning for more, so it...
I think $50 is fair for the Caracalla. I grade it Fine. VF examples range $80 to $100, XF in the hundreds. Check this acsearch page for a...
Nice sleuthing, Z. I think we've come closer to solving the beehive/temple mystery. But the coin I posted still poses the question: what the...

After we spoke of this coin in PM, I went looking at the various beehive types of Deultum. They all look like they're on some sort of simple...
It's not a party until Aphrodite shows up.
The first is a very common follis in poor shape. A $5 junk bin coin. The second is actually a denarius, not an antoninianus, and it's a scarcer...
Well the Constantinople Commem came in yesterday. I'll buy almost any decent Imperial emission of Alexandria if I can get it cheap. I love the...
Superb! Is there any evidence that the Smyrnians actually called these coins Homereia, or is that a modern invention?
Higher grade coins will generally retain their value, but in my opinion, the only Judaean coins worth speculating on are the coins of the Bar...
That's an impressive $25 find! Also, I like hearing stories of how coins are acquired. I've received free key chains as gifts, but none that I...
You know, one of the coins I was hoping to find at that show was a larger Ptolemaic bronze, and it actually worked. And, I got it for a healthy...
