I don't know...but you're right, there was no COS VIII, so it looks like an engravers error, be it ancient or modern.
Actually it looks like one of the fakes you posted a few weeks ago.
You don't need Hadrian's Wall. The Romans swarmed Britain. Try your back yard.
Redwin, yours is a coin of Constantine I, or Constantine the Great. (If you read his history he turns out to be not so great.) The mint is...

Lee is right: just buy yourself a graded coin - much cheaper that way. I collected a couple dozen slabbed Kennedys, and studied them carefully, to...
Why, whatever could you possibly mean? :pointnlaugh:
If it goes 67 it'll be about a $30 coin, so not worth grading in my opinion. A 68 would be worth more obviously, but you've got to have a keen,...

The large scratches with the tic-tac-toe pattern don't look like random damage. I have the feeling they're some sort of graffiti, or test marks -...
The best I can do for mothers is this Theodora - she is holding a baby after all... [img]
Luddite? Perhaps, but I can't tell you how many mistakes I've found over the years, reviewing receipts against bank statements. And the mistakes...
The best possible investment you can make is in a highly marketable skill.
Lots of great eye candy there, guys. Keep up the good work. :thumb:
I like it, but I wouldn't bother with a slab. It is what it is.
It won't grade as low as 60 or as high as 70 - probably somewhere between 64 and 68 if it isn't damaged. I don't see any cameo. But better pics...
One of my favorite coins is this proto-Nabataean bronze, which has a flying goddess overstruck on an eagle. On the reverse, under and around Nike,...
All's fair in love and coins.
I'm not sure I've posted this before. If I have, apologies. But I have this one Kennedy that's turned an almost homogenous gold color on both...
