Great coins, everyone! I was wondering how Charles the Bald wound up in a thread about Licinius and Constantine, then I bothered to read the whole...
And one last favorite, scarce issue of Constantine... Constantine I, 272-337 AE Follis: 19mm, 2.62g, 6h; Constantinople Mint: 328 Obv:...
One of my most prized coins of Constantine I. I had never seen such detail in the helmeted busts, so I went the extra mile to acquire this piece....
Since the article also mentions Maximinus Daia, here's a nice follis of his. I collected this piece for the interesting fruit detail in the...
Thanks Steve. I've over-posted my coins of this era lately, but what the heck... Licinius I AE Follis, 21mm, 3.18g Siscia mint: 315-316....
It's a gorgeous coin, but posting the obverse only is insufficient to the cause. Let's see the other side.
Here's my credit card number!!!! 1234 5678 9101 1121
It's a common type, but highly uncommon in that condition. I've been looking for just such a piece to no avail. Well-done, sir.
I really don't think it needs 20 frames, just enough time to examine each frame at leisure, but that is an improvement.
It plays just fine, but it's too fast! It's giving me a seizure. Give it 5 seconds per frame.
Incidentally Steve, this is a type that I haven't seen before. It would appear that the goose/lizard coins are readily available, but two geese is...
The solution to selling coins at that level is to consign them to major auction houses. Anything else would be downright foolish.
As common as these are, I have a warm place in my heart for them. A Falling Horseman was the first ancient coin I collected. Here's one of the...
That's perfectly understandable. Roman letters on coins can look very different from modern Roman letters.
Actually, you overpaid a bit. For $50 I would expect better detail from a coin of this type, which is common for Probus (ADVENTVS AVG). It is an...
No, Roman Provincial. The inscriptions were in Greek, but they substituted various Roman letters for Greek letters, depending on the province. Σ...
That's Tyche on the reverse, but I can't make out enough of the legend to say where the coin is from. Laodicea maybe?
I'll throw in a pigeon. :) Roman Empire, Anonymous, Domitian to Antoninus Pius AE Quadrans, 3.25g, Rome mint: AD 81-161 Obv.: Diademed and...
Hey, I love that coin, Steve! Nice pick-up. I struck out at CNG today, but to be fair, I was being a cheapskate: trying to win coins by $10 over...
The die axis of the coin is 6h, so if we flip the reverse around to how the dies would have been sitting in relationship to each other, we can see...
