Just another winner. You've amassed quite a few tets lately. How many does this one make?
[ATTACH] No doubt some ancestor of Steve's engraved it. :)
I do not have a FEL TEMP of Constans from Rome, but I do have a 2 Standards and Securitas, both of which, as scrappy as they are, represent...
I grade it Best of Type for Rome. Anyone who's taken a close look at the Rome mint's output during Constantius II's reign would know this is not...
Nice catch VK! I also came across an unattributed rarity last night, a Tyrian civic issue in a state of preservation that I had never seen....
Great choice for an example of the type. I don't have an example of this very common coin, and it's precisely because I can't find a complete,...
An informative overview, thank you. I'm particularly intrigued by the metallurgical analysis of one of the dies, showing it to be a high-tin...

Hey brother, if you want it, you can have it - as a token of our friendship. Just PM me your address.
I think you stole a coin. It's funny, I have no problem dropping a few hundred dollars on a coin, but it's much more satisfying to find a cheapie...
My tiny Ephesian bee doesn't stand up to the rest of the coins in this thread, but I wasn't really looking to buy it - a dealer threw it into to...
I'll have to save up for that one.
I like the patina on the Hadrian, as worn as the coin is, but the RR is truly exceptional.
Wonderful! Thank you for the link. I'm quite impressed with the images in this supplement.
A strangely pleasing little coin.
I have a coin which arrived recently and is clearly covered in fake dirt. It scratches off easily with a fingernail. I payed a pittance for it, so...
