So after I won this piece, the dealer contacted me and said he had put another variety up for auction: a phoenix-on-globe type. I managed to...
It's a nice little set with a lot of variety. Good job.
I don't know. I've never seen one like yours, but that isn't saying anything. Those little obols and fractions of obols seem to come in an...
Yeah, good job. Treat a lady right. As far as the coin goes, you may have cornered the market. I don't even have any coins of Mysia to share,...
Hey, thanks Randy. Looks decidedly like a variation of Phoenician, which would make sense for the area.
Nice Africa, doucet, very nice indeed!
Oh well, maybe he'll get a chuckle out of it. The quote from the listing is current, however. I think most "general" collectors like to have a few...
I'll take as clear a pic as I can when I get it - it was shipped today. So if the last sign is a number, what is the script? Some sort of...
Wow, Cheetah. Fantastic!
Well see Doug, that's the problem with talking about RIC without owning it. I'm using one dealer's comments to correct another's - the blind...
I for one, have started buying RIC a bit at a time. If I'm going to refer to it, I need to study it. In the meantime, I'm leaving references out...

Apropos to Martin's post, it's a curious fact that many dealers don't describe their coins correctly. I've come to no longer trust any dealer's...
That sure is a beauty, Randy - you've posted it before, but I love seeing it again. On another note, does anyone have good examples of the...
That's a choice piece! The detail, centering, silvering - gorgeous. I've had my eye on a few nice big silvered antoniniani of Probus. You might...
They don't even care. Here's an excerpt from their blurb on a Gordian III DD... Just buy it. It's got something on the reverse. Whatever. lol
I don't know - it was tonight's eBay score. Seller's images - we'll see. I'm not overly concerned about the color since the coin has nice surfaces...
My first phoenix reverse. How'd I do? [img]
Thanks Chris - it's one of the first LRB's I ever bought, and it seriously piqued my interest in ancients. It's a nice, hefty AE2, on a thick...
No great shakes here. The first is a newp - bargain bin find with less common reverse legend. The second is just a new pic of an old coin. [IMG]...
