At a quick glance, the third one's obverse looks like a typical Seleukid king to me. If no one else has pegged it later today I'll take a closer...
I wrote Naumann early this morning asking the status of export licenses for auction 47. Here's an excerpt from their reply: We got the export...
A recent auction of ex-Dattari coins led to plan B and plan C purchases. Here are some of those coins which were plan A: [IMG] Domitian...
If you're going to foray into Eastern medieval oddities, a watermelon-eater is certainly a fun choice :) Artuqid coins are also tempting.
Well, sort of :D Instead of two massive pictures, each with 7.5% coin and 92.5% background, how about one picture with 70% coin and 30%...
Your Plan B coins look pretty dang nice :)
While Tesorillo's ID pages are remarkable thorough, one shortcoming that he doesn't list all mint marks, he only abbreviates the mints. He does...
Hmm, I'm not sure what you mean by "...nothing on what is written below." From Tesorillo, here's a screen shot of the reverse type "legend within...
Thanks, Doug. I copied the URL at the bottom of the pictured page but it wasn't a working site. I see now that the host must have changed. I...
I'd love to see the reverse :) The obverse is wonderful. Do you have any larger images?
I bet you'd be able to identify them, or come close, if you knew where to look. For late Roman bronzes ("LRBs") like the ones you've been...
Yeah, this is strange. I guess I could write NGC and ask about the new gradeless slabs, just to see what they say. @David Atherton, did this...
NN 47 hasn't shipped yet. I'm awaiting two coins from that auction. Prior to NN 47 they sent notice indicating they expected a processing time of...
Wow, Chrsmat, that is a superduper birthday present!
A Domitian drachm? Nice! I have my eye on one right now. I love that coin. Are you my Secret Santa? (fingers crossed :D) Your serpent is...
And one more :) [ATTACH] EGYPT, Alexandria. Antoninus Pius year 19, CE 155/6 AE obol, 18.5 mm, 4.26 gm Obv: ANTωNINOCCEBEVCCV* [see note];...
Oooh, that's a tough one. If you want books which serve as catalog references you'll have to buy tons of books even if limiting yourself to one...
Here's another ex-Dattari coin from the same auction. The auction listing documented this coin as an obol; it is not. It is a diobol. However,...
I always have trouble keeping those names straight since they vary by only one letter. It's Constantius, not Constantinus.
Gorgeous coin, @Eduard! I have a couple of Provincials of LV but no Imperials. [IMG] EGYPT, Alexandria. Lucius Verus year 4, CE 163/4...
Separate names with a comma.
