Nice pic as always, Doug. Looking forward to seeing the rest. I'll take a closer shot of my mark tomorrow as well.
Before you judge yourself too harshly, this coin on Wildwinds sold at a CNG auction for $165....
No. It isn't, lol. That's not your coin at all. Some of them had a small bust of Heracles turned slightly right. That's what I think you have.
I like your coin much better than mine. Mine was a bargain bin find - maybe not such a bargain after all.
3126 is a stater. I wish I could make that attribution to one of my coins!
No, YOU have it right. I'm the one that transposed. I really don't know if they're scarce. After looking at so many Constantinian bronzes,...
Thanks Bing - I just reversed the last two numbers. Typo. 3162 is correct for our pieces. WC's attribution also seems right. 3158 is the same...

Well, I meant to say siliqua instead of solidus. Sorry - my mistake. You know that I'm new to collecting ancients, so my experience in the...
These two coins arrived in the post yesterday. They aren't quite as green as the seller's images, but they are lovely pieces. Here's the first......
Just click on the edit button at the bottom of the post and redo it. I would like to see your Gallienus animal series, because it's a collection...
That's really a beautiful coin. That's probably the kind of coin that would get a gF grade, and the letter grade would make no difference to the...
Very nice coins. I've got one crappy bargain bin ant of Gallienus that I'm too embarrassed to post.
I always like your educational posts and coins, VK. Thanks for taking the time for the write-up. I wouldn't bother cleaning the coins - they are...
Anyway, when do threads in this loony bin ever stay on topic? :confused:
