CNG's archive is so awesome. Their search function is very well made. I used the search terms "Caracalla, AE, shield" I briefly looked through...
Think I found it, or something quite similar :) From CNG's archives [IMG] CAPPADOCIA, Tyana. Caracalla. AD 198-217. Æ 25mm (14.04 g). Dated RY...
Based on the portrait and what I think I can see of the obverse legend, I think it will turn out to be a provincial of Caracalla or Elagabalus.
Another reply from Ex-Nvmis: they are working on a provenance form to include with the submission. @zumbly: yes, I submitted my Agathokles...
I don't know what it is (yet :D) but it is interesting! That's the biggest shield I've seen on a coin, assuming it is a shield. Also, I've never...
I'm at three for the year... a slower pace than the last two years but they were more expensive than my usual purchases.
I hate haggling, am not good at it, and loathe having to do it. At the 2014 ANA show (Chicago), at first I didn't realize that was expected and...
I received some clarification about the pricing this morning. I had misunderstood and thought the price (25 credits for post-1970, 50 for...

That is a great example, Z! Often these purported "eyes to heaven" poses look more like a defiant or arrogant posture (chin tipped up but eyes...
I would go to them if I were able to get there by car in a reasonable timeframe. Unfortunately I live >1000 miles from any coin show locales, so...
Very nice "deity in temple" types, everyone! Wow, I want one :)

I signed up and submitted one coin for which some prior sales seem likely. Fingers crossed for a hit... other than for the auction in which it...
At least you tried. I gave up after all of my possible targets saw unexpectedly heavy bidding well before hammer time. Congrats on the win,...
Wow, what a turn of events!
What if their search returns 10 hits? Yikes. I've sent them a message asking for details on certain scenarios. Can I exclude pedigree points...
I don't like how they have parceled out the packets of credit you have to buy. 25/50/100/250 etc. Since there is a 5 credit fee even if there is...
I was hoping this would be opened up to the public, yay! I'll probably try a coin or two.
