Ouch. Painful!
:D We alternated picks, in two groups: the 10 Dattari plate coins and then the rest. I picked first and chose the Zeus Ammon :)
:( How much time has passed?
@Curtisimo-- that's a great story and one I wasn't familiar with, so thanks :). However, while you were writing it, LaCointessa revealed that her...
@Johndoe2000$, to clarify, are you seeking a darkly toned silver coin or are you seeing a darkly patinated bronze coin? Or do you care which...
Actually, the caduceus is not the symbol of medicine, although it is often mistakenly portrayed as such. The medical symbol is the staff of...
Yep. 40 drachms each :oops: (well, 40 drachms for Z, 39 drachms and one diobol for me) Oooh how I love your Serapis-Agathodaemon riding a...
I think several of us have this inexpensive digital scale: [IMG]...
[guffaw] :D Wanna see the worse of the bunch? Small children and those with delicate constitutions should avert their eyes. [ATTACH] Look at...

Yes indeedy-- if @wrappedinsky likes creepy Medusa/gorgon coins, a Republican Plautia Plancus is an excellent target. [IMG] Roman Imperatorial,...
The coins all had Dattari-Savio (and sometimes other) attributions written on the flip inserts, but I made the spreadsheet so that Z and I could...
You can’t have too many A-Pi drachms… or can you? One of the many fun things about collecting ancient coins in this modern era is discussing...
Mine either :D. It just looks like an old matron with curlers in her hair :D
The poster for this exhibit looks like it could be @Ancientnoob's collection :)
Yes, it does-- although for each coin (Emmett # + year) only one concordant entry is listed. For the concordances he cites a variety of...
To me, that seems to be the trend. Citing Emmett and Dattari/Savio seems to be "in" now. I have Dattari, Dattari/Savio, Curtis, Milne, Emmett,...
Doug beat me to the punch, and with a nicer example. [IMG] EGYPT, Alexandria. Severina tetradrachm, regnal year 7. Dikaiosyne.
You're probably right (if the size/weight is within range). I didn't notice the T-A on your coin :)
That's an exceptionally nice Claudius II imperial issue! Oh, I see Zumbly already used that phrase :oops:. Trying again: That's a remarkably...
Separate names with a comma.
