Do you have Mamaea with Juno? FORVM's got a couple of nice ones in their shop at the moment.
Thanks AN. Looks just as populated as maps of ancient Greek cultures.
Very nice! All of her denarii seem scarce to me, but particularly Juno - in fact, the only one I've seen is on her wiki page.
Mine was sold to me as a 1/2 kakini, and I believe that's correct by comparison to other pieces. It comes in at 10mm, 1.2g. I'm now looking at a...
Yes, there are many factors, and I'm sure some collectors don't care about provenance as long as their coin is authentic, which is perfectly fine....
Haven't seen you around for a while, Pete. Hope everything is well!
I would be very much interested in such a provenance, and would be willing to pay a premium for it.
Doug explains XXI on this page, second paragraph. S is the officina mark, Secunda.
That's very interesting - the die axis of that coin is 9h, which kept the entire croc on the cut. Is this rare on the halved coins? Isn't the axis...

My answer is a best guess. For one thing, portraiture on provincial coins exhibits quite a bit of variance - the busts are not anywhere near as...
Yes: Commodus, Nikopolis ad Istrum. Varbanov I 2209. A range of 16 to 19mm is good, around 3 grams. Varbanov's coin is 18mm.
Hey Chris, my little Nagas of Narwar mini-bull showed up today too. I'll post it in your thread tomorrow - I'm too tired for pics right now.
Yup, still likin' it!
You would have to post a pretty decrepit example of this type for me to not like it. I like them all, problems not withstanding, even the halved...
I'm not seeing anything funky about that denarius, JB. Which abrasions are you referring to? All I'm seeing are some minor scratches from wear.
Wow, that looks so much better than the seller's photo. Great coin!!
Nice!! Doug's definitely the go-to man on these. You've got everything you need on that coin: both busts, inscriptions, a full crocodile with a...
