Steve, I wish I could find an Antiochos VI serrate elephant as nice as yours.
It would seem all coins of this type were corrected by RPC to Augustus/Gaius, and I believe you are correct in suggesting Lindgren copied the BMC...
I've got one coming up. :) Here's a mighty coin, carved out by a master's hand, arrived this morning... [ATTACH]
I upgraded my Two-Victories type of Constans earlier this month (coin 1), and didn't think I'd be getting another one anytime soon. But coin 2...
I suppose I should ask at FORVM. I posted it in Coin of the Day, and Curtis Clay took a look at it. I'm pretty sure he would have corrected the...
Caligula came up in the discussion of the coin at the show, but evidently the type does not exist for him. No need for a drawing - I'm calling it...
I'm going to wrap up the first quarter of 2015 with a handful of coins lumped together in one thread. I collected three Falling Horseman recently,...
The plot thickens I suppose. I haven't studied the portraits enough to have an opinion on the matter myself. It would appear that there's some...
Nothing to be sorry about...There are many bust/horseman types in the world of ancient coins. That piece looks Roman Provincial or even...

The Nero is a fabulous coin, and if you feel any jealousy over my acquisition of the Gaius, I assure you the feeling is reciprocated in the case...
Thanks Mikey! I like looking at sets of coins, so I occasionally put together composites.
No Doug, it was not in a box that you had examined. In fact it wasn't in a display or box at all. Bill and I got chatting with Tom Wood of Ephesus...
Of the two Rome coins in post #20, the first looks like a lot of Rome emissions, the second got struck pretty hard. Which one is more typical for...
Thanks for those links Z. I find it odd that my searches didn't come with some of those coins. The $800 coin was ex-Lindgren and the plate coin...
Great coin, Severatus. I can clearly make out the Φ in both the obverse field and on the haunch of the bull, and the finch is wonderfully detailed.
Great choices beef, but get that Antoninus Pius soaking in distilled water ASAP so you can start picking off the BD. I think some of the green is...
A lovely coin!
I'm not sure I made out like a bandit, Mikey. I don't concern myself about investment much, when it comes to coins. What thrills me is the...
