Sorry for the delayed reply, Paul. The silver coin with facing bull head obverse is a triobol from Phokis. I like the design and picked this one...
Just a reminder... PCGS doesn't certify or authenticate ancient coins. NGC encapsulates them but doesn't guarantee them (of course they are...
Thanks! I don't think the Bruttium is an overstrike, or if it is there is no trace of the original coin.
Wow, what a year. Numismatically it was awesome. Everything else... not so much. I'm so behind and disorganized that even reviewing my 2016...
Looks that way! Good luck in 2017 :D Over the course of the year your posts have made it clear that I need some Ephesus Flavians! I love the...
No coin gifts for me this year (except for my awesome Secret Saturn present). This year's weird but welcome and practical gift came from my mom,...
Welcome to CoinTalk, @Odysseas!
Did you buy it as a fake? Looks like a match to some in Forvm's Fakes gallery. Edited: Isn't it the AntiquaNova "museum restrike" but with the...
Nice choice! :D The wolf on your coin is very well defined. [IMG] ARGOLIS, Argos 330-270 BCE AR Triobol or Hemidrachm, 14mm, 2.4 g Obv:...

I don't know how to tell authentic from fake but hopefully someone else can give advice. As for the person on the tessera, my guess is Apollo. I...
Sorry, Pish-- I'm running behind and haven't been able to keep up with CoinTalk this week. Hopefully I'll catch up in a few days :) As for...
Fantastic group shot! All are more than worthy of a top 10. The Postumus portrait is a real standout!
I had a few arrive this week but I'm drowning in work and holiday prep. Hoping to catch up on CoinTalk later this week.
Pish, that is a fantastic Christmas present! Beautiful :). Congrats!!
Great assortment, @Ajax! My favorites are in line with Zumbly's (unsurprising, since I copy him often :D)
He's been discussed many times here on CT. Feelings run from loathing to neutral to "meh, it works for him". I've bought a couple from him,...
WOW, Carausius-- fantastic coins!! The didrachm is amazing in every regard. I particularly like how Jupiter's throwing arm looks like it's...
Welcome, @Gavin Richardson :)
