I particularly like the early Hadrians with long legends, nice coin! As I mentioned in an another thread, I was reluctant to buy anything from...
Heh - the only think I've snapped is slabs. I would like to know something about the previous owner though. The only thing I could find on Sidney...
It's only missing part of the K. I think the irregular flan is what kept the cost down to something I could afford, but as I said in an earlier...
I'm guessing very near-sighted engravers.
Those are very handsome coins. I think you did great for the price.
Lol, Randi. Nice shot with the pin, doucet.
Really? You must have a pretty decent scanner - they look more like camera shots. Anyway, it looks like your attribution is good. I don't have...
You won't see many spaces on the actual legends, enochian. The spaces in the RIC attributions just clarify the individual words or abbreviations....

...from my usual fare. AR Tritatemorion of Kyzikos, 480-450 BC. 9x12mm, .58g, ex Sidney Mygind. Not in my possession yet, but when it does arrive...
Very nice indeed. I almost bought a modern last week, a thaler of Sigismund.
Well, if someone insists on being bored, there's not much you can do. I can't tell you how many times my kids have said, "THERE'S NOTHING TO DO!"...
The coin I bought just because this thread was started came in last week, so I suppose I should post my own pics of it. I really really like this...
That's a nicely-detailed Africa, Bing.
The most affordable entry into ancients is Late Roman Bronze, particularly issues by emperors that had long reigns and churned out millions of...
Super coin AN, and an excellent debriefing. I always enjoy your posts, because we have an appreciation for obscure cultures in common. (Maybe...
Separate names with a comma.
