No guys, Valerian and Gallienus are earlier than the scope of Bruck's book. Third Century is not considered Late Roman.
A few of the types in this diagram are quite rare. According to Bruck (p.58), the SAECVLI FELICITAS types are Rome-only issues of Constantine I,...
Great coins everyone. Doug, I'm glad I started this thread, if for no other reason but to see some of your coins that I have not seen before. The...
I'm no snob, really, and I also didn't mean to come off as one - I'm a rank amateur compared to the people that have been collecting their entire...
lol :woot: Steve does have a point. Bing and I are cheapskates.
In fact, by calling your coin a "conversation piece," you've pretty much summed up how most committed collectors of ancients feel about their...
From roughly the same time period, here is a coin of Constantine's arch-rival Licinius (of a different type, of course). This coin would be...
I respectfully disagree with Steve. It's about a $10 coin, raw, and it's not VF. Here is one of mine, which I consider ALMOST VF, but in my...
I didn't intend any sort of thread shredding, honest. I've never investigated Anacs' grading standards for ancients, nor have I ever bought an...
I don't know Anacs' criteria for grading ancients. I think most of us here would call it Fine.
#25 and #28 to start, both coins of Constantine I. I suppose "altäre" refers to religious themes in general, as the Dafne reverse does not exhibit...
MR has a very nice LIB ROMANORVM #17, but I'm not looking to spend $420 on a "common" LRB today, so let's move on to the next diagram. We should...
We seem to have gotten most of the easy ones. RIC records type #3 as minted under Constantius II and Constans in Rome. RIC VIII Rome 153. I'm not...
I haven't collected any Artaxiad coinage yet, although I'd like to - they just don't seem to come around very often at affordable prices. I...
I stand corrected. You're not the only one with a coin of Assos. Well, it was nice while it lasted, all 21 minutes. :)
These particular ones are easy to spot as the style and fabric are abysmally wrong. But there are very good fakes out there.
You may be the only member of this forum with a coin of Assos. It's a lovely little silver!
I only have a few myself, Steve. I love your Julian/Bull!
Hmm. Well, in 7 I see the rider's head facing left, in 8 I see it facing right, toward the Roman soldier. I could be wrong, though - those...
