It's a distinct possibility, Bryan. There appears to be a centering dimple on the reverse, and perhaps remnants of one on the obverse, which would...
That's a lovely still-life, AJ.
Budgeting is a good thing. You can't sacrifice important parts of your life for a coin collection. That being said, do as I say, not as I do. :p
That coin is definitely you, Steve. I love it.
The legend is a bit mushy, but pretty clear. It takes some practice to read Roman lettering on coins, and Doug's had a lot of practice.
Hey folks we had a nice sunny day and I decided to re-shoot all my early Nabataeans, which I've been meaning to do. I've talked about these...
Possibly because coins of the Western mints were only produced early in Licinius' career, during the uneasy truce between himself and Constantine?...

By all means, print it off and use it. Meshorer comments on the style change from Rabbel/Shuqailat to Rabbel/Gamilat as well, calling the earlier...
The gold medals are 92.5% silver, plated with 6 grams of gold.
IOVI CONSERVATORI = Jupiter Protects. It's a shortened form of the legend IOVI CONSERVATORI CAESS (or AVGG). Jupiter Protects the Caesars, or...
Well. It's better than this one. I don't recall aliens participating in the Olympics. o_O [img]
Whoa, hang on guys, that's NOT my collection. It's just a set of images that somebody compiled. I thought it was interesting to compare them...
Yeah. Welcome to the club. I make uneducated comments all day long.
How's that for exonumia? http://imgur.com/a/v3RIx
I envy you guys. Metal detecting for ancient coins is a kind of exercise I could actually embrace with enthusiasm.
